The Tewantin Noosa Branch of the Australian Red Cross held a very successful Fashion Show on Friday 27 October at Noosa Domain Country Club. A regular fundraiser in the Branch’s calendar, the limited tickets were eagerly snapped up by over 100 interested locals who enjoyed a thoroughly entertaining morning.
The funds raised will contribute to valued Australian Red Cross programs in Queensland including Migrant Support programs and the Red Cross Night Café in Brisbane, a safe space offering practical support for young people experiencing homelessness.
Noosa Domain proved to be an inviting and elegant venue for the event. Fashions on show were generously provided by Trudy Doyle from her local boutique “It’s All About Me” in Thomas Street, Noosaville. The models – all but one Red Cross Branch members – looked fabulous. Trudy regularly gives her time for these events, for which the Red Cross is extremely grateful.
Following the show, participants were treated to a wonderful light buffet lunch, catered for mostly by Branch members. Noosa Hospital generously donated additional trays of delicious sandwiches.
A raffle run on the day attracted great support for close to 20 prizes. Those attending were delighted to win a variety of goodies including hampers and vouchers kindly donated by many big-hearted businesses, large and small, across the Tewantin Noosa community.
Tewantin Noosa Branch of the Australian Red Cross holds fundraising events throughout the year which contribute directly to Red Cross programs assisting vulnerable people in Queensland and in the broader Australian community. Branch members meet monthly and also volunteer their time in the local community visiting local residents at NoosaCare Carramar and at Youturn, a not-for-profit organisation addressing youth homelessness.
