On Wednesday, May 3, The Altona Day View Club hosted one of their four fundraising events of the year, a fashion show in Point Cook.

Day View Club secretary Julie Cummings said it was a fantastic day.

“It was a great day , we saw tremendous success,” she said.

The ladies held the event at Point Cook Retirement Village clubhouse, where many of the women in the Day View Club live.

One hundred and forty-two women attended the fundraising event, mostly made up of women from their own club as well as other Day View Clubs around Victoria.

The models who walked the runway were Marion Parkhill, Kathy Gray, Maureen Rodway, Pamela Anderson and Robyn Williams, wearing clothes that were given to them from Cliche Fashion.

“There was a great range of clothing which proved to be a success, the women bought a wide range of things,” she said.

The day started off with lunch and refreshments, followed by the fashion parade and finished with a raffle.

“There were 13 prizes graciously donated to us from members of the club as well as some residents of Point Cook, who worked really hard to make it all possible,” she said.

The funds raised on the day go directly to the six students they currently sponsor through the learning for life program through the Smith Family.
