Askennonia models strut their stuff!
Askennonia members did a wonderful job of presenting the latest fall fashions from Patricia’s and Patricia’s Petites at the Wed. Oct 29 Fall Fashion Show. The afternoon was hosted by the Askennonia Tai Chi group, who provided cheese, crackers and fruit for the 175 attendees. Our sponsors, The Villa and Bayfield House Retirement Lodges, complemented the lunch with fruit loaves and door prizes. Doug Hill filled the room with old favorites, while Sandra Taylor did a wonderful job with the commentary. Thanks to all volunteers who made this event successful!
