Fund for Women, Fashion, Fun & Philanthropy Show, Fundraising Event, Independence Hall Club House, Millsboro, Delaware, Bringing Together the Collective Philanthropy of Women

dscn9045

My friend, Jody, invited me to go to Independence for a Fund for Women Fashion Show and fundraising event.  Did not know where Independence was and did not know about Fund for Women.  Arriving at Independence on a beautiful Sunday, last week-end, I was so surprised to find this 55+ community tucked away on Rt. 5 near Millsboro.  Independence Hall Club House is located at 29762 Oliver Wolcott Dr., Millsboro, DE 19966.  And, what a beautiful club it was.

dscn9046

As it usually happens, when women get together with a purpose, then something does get done.  It happened that way when in 1993 16 women who became First Founders vowed to recruit 1,000 Founders, each contributing $1,000 to fund a $1 million endowment to be held at the Delaware Community Foundation.  The goal was reached and now more than 1,300 women and men have become Founders.  Since 12/31/13 the endowment has surpassed $3.1 million.

dscn9059dscn9054

When you donate $1,000 to this organization, you pledge to pay $200 for 5 years.  So, you don’t have to pay it all at once.  The Founders love to hear the bell ring every time a new Founder has joined.

Kathy Kiernan was greeting guests.  She was with the Development Dept. of Fund for Women.  All are volunteers!  You can find more about Fund for Women by visiting http://www.delcf.org/ffw.  If you have any questions, please email:  TheFundFor Women@yahoo.com.

dscn9055

We arrived with enough time to take part in the raffle, and get a few bites to eat.

dscn9057

The caterer was Patty’s located at 517 South Bedford St. in Georgetown, DE 19947.  Tel. 302-253-8692.  Website?  http://www.pattys.comcastbiz.net.  They were finishing setting up and had available all kinds of light bites and tastings.

The Runway was ready, but before the Fashion Show, there was some shopping to be done.  The shops in the Fashion Show also had their tables around the room where we could do some shopping at great prices.

dscn9052

Introductions were made and Cheryl Mitchell from Lunch with a Purpose was the Moderator.

dscn9088

Through the course of the Fashion Show we learned more and more about Fund for Women.  It is managed by a Board of Trustees made of women from all three counties of Delaware.

Their beliefs:  “All women and girls have intrinsic value.  We believe in giving back.  We accomplish more collectively than as individuals.  We believe in the responsibility of women’s philanthropy.”

dscn9074

With that in mind, the music started, the women, were dancing on their seats, and the models were great.  It was so much fun with a lot of impromptu “runway acting”.  The ladies modeled clothing from Azura, Candlelight Bridal, CraZy LadyZ, Deanna’s, Josephine’s Daughter, Coolspring Cottage, Lady Fenwick, Twila Farrell, and Simply Dressed.

The afternoon ended with the special occasion dresses from Candlelight Bridal in Millsboro.

dscn9112

Note:  The next event will be Art from My Collection to Yours on May 1st at the Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts, in Wilmington, Delaware.   The Fund for Women and Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts will be partnering for an art auction event.  FFW Founders and local community members are invited to donate, from their own collections, works of art such as framed paintings, sculpture, ceramics, hand-made jewely, and more.  The proceeds from ticket sales and the silent auction will benefit both organizations.  Want to donate or want more info?  Plese contact Ginger Ward, Next Million Chair, at Ginger.Ward@ubs.com.

Southern Delaware…..you are amazing!  Ring, Ring, Ring….the bells kept ringing!

Southern Delaware, Blue Skies, Cool Temperatures, Delaware Beaches, Hello Spring!!

dscn8849

Were you at the Delaware Beaches today?  Gorgeous, wasn’t it?  I was driving from Bethany Beach to Rehoboth Beach and I was thinking….how lucky if this road was your commute every single day.  It was for my husband.  No traffic, the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Bay on the other.

dscn8851

The beautiful Indian River Bridge was bright today.  Have you seen in the evening?

dscn8850

Going through it and looking at the expansive views, is a scenery I love and never get tired of looking.

So many events and fun things to do while vacationing at the Delaware Beaches.  I live here and have not done it all.  Being on the beach is just the beginning….

As much as I love the ocean, I really have come to enjoy the bay so much.  Late afternoons just to sit on a beach chair, it is so relaxing.

Mango Mania! Smoothie, Easy, Refreshing, A Summer Favorite!! Good Morning Delaware Beaches

Florida Mangoes

Florida Mangoes

Hot weather, blue skies….the beach.  This one is for the diet concious!

In Rehoboth Beach, Giant is my source for mangoes, 4 for $5…in Florida, they are plentiful, and most of the time free for me.  And, when I was growing up in Puerto Rico, practically every house had mango tree and I would, literally, sit with a bag of mangoes in front of me and start eating them.  No knife needed, either.
