MBCC Women's Fellowship
2008 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 26 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 $3000 which WF will contribute to its various benevolences throughout the year.
