Maricopa Women in Business (MWIB) are busily making final preparations for their luncheon and fashion show on Saturday, August 5, from 1:30 to 4 p.m. All proceeds are designated for the group’s scholarship fund, which provided $500 for a Maricopa High School graduate this year.
The event, beginning with a snack luncheon in the ballroom at Harrah’s Ak-Chin, will feature back-to-school fashions for both teens and adults from JC Penney and the Casa Grande Wal-Mart. Members Lana Williford of Cookie Lee Jewelry and Jodi Jaffe of Marilen’s Imports will provide accessories, which will be available for purchase. Guests will also be eligible for door prizes.
Raffle tickets, ranging from spa packages to a weekend in Rocky Point, will be sold only at the show; you must be present to win.
Tax-deductible tickets are a $25 per person donation. Contact any MWIB member or [email protected] to reserve your spot on the “runway” today!
