Irene Hickson’s President’s Day was a great success. Models had chosen 3 outfits from Julia’s House to parade to the audience and there were rails of very good second-hand clothes donated by Area members which sold at reasonable prices. Some fantastic bargains and lots of happy people went home with carrier bags.
Here are all the models in their evening outfits.
