The Hempstead Country Club provided a festive atmosphere and delicious brunch. The fantastic vendors included Baubles, Bangles & Bags, Flair4Style, Neergaard Pharmacy, Posh Knots, Meljaeger Designs, Catalina Mueller and Coquette, who generously donated a portion of their proceeds from their sales, in addition to wonderful raffle prizes. The fashion show was fabulous! We thank shop owners, Lisa Duff of Coquette and Sharon Castellano of Village Couture Shoppe for showcasing their lovely fashions and generously offering discount coupons to attendees, and the gorgeous models for providing us with such an upbeat show! CMF President, Clare Barbadillo, surprised Helga Otte with the presentation of a beautiful glass plaque, honoring her for over 30 years of outstanding volunteer service to CMF. All the ladies went home with lovely Nautica trays and the wonderful, warm feeling of having supported such a worthy cause. Co-chairpersons Nicole Nolan Koester, Gretchen Sundius and Helen Hagan would like to personally thank all the board members and CMF friends who donated raffle prizes and gave so generously of their time to help make this event such a success!
