MBCC Women's Fellowship
2009 Spring Tea and Fashion Show



Each Spring, MBCC Women's Fellowship holds a Tea and Fashion Show, which is one of its two largest fundraising activities. This year, April 25 was the big day. In addition to the 14 elegant, quirky, and awe-inspiring tables, decorated by 14 different women, a Silent Auction and Needlecrafters Boutique was also included. These activities raised over $4900 which WF will contribute to its various benevolences throughout the year.
