Sheauga Style Show, October 6, 2007
I enjoyed laughter, good eats, new fashion, and FUN at the Sheauga Chapter of ABWA! As people entered the party center, we were greeted at the door by the president Nancy Peterson who was taking money for tickets. There were people walking around selling 50/50 tickets, there were lots of prizes for the Chinese Auction, door prizes and center pieces.
I sat with Bonnie Fruhauf, the historian, and Donna Gedeon, former Vice President of the chapter. Other family and friends were also at our table. We enjoyed a delicious meal of fruit, salad, stuffed chicken and a yummy ice cream parfait for desert! 
After lunch and during the raffles, the models came out adorned in winter wear, office wear, and evening wear. The fashions were provided by Peebles in Chardon who also garnished many of the door prizes of make-up bags stuffed with goodies, and Catherine’s, in Mentor. We all thought the event was over when the models came out in sleep wear - beautiful silky robes ready for a relaxing night cap and slumber.
I had such a fun time and I am so glad I went. Everything was so organized and well planned, and there were fun and prizes for all. I will defiantly make this an annual event, and encourage my members to attend next year!
“The Chapter meets the first Wednesday of each month at 6:30pm. Meetings are held in both Geauga and Lake Counties to accommodate our members.
“The annual style show is one of the methods the Sheauga Charter Chapter of the American Business Women’s Association uses to raise funds to assist women to advance in the business world. Because of our efforts, and the efforts of sister chapters, thousands of women have been able to begin and/or continue their education.”
