St. Maurice Social Hall became the venue for The Forever Young Seniors Fashion Luncheon. The attendees mingled and enjoyed  as dinner prepared by  Chefs George Zinkler and Michael Agius was served. The entree was Boneless Breast of chicken saute Marsala. By all reports, the entree and sides were outstanding.

Soloist Joan Rose Hasselbach accompanied the meal.

Following the meal, the Fashion show took the participants Down Memory Lane under the guidance of directors Joan Richardson, Provie Ferrante and Charlotte Sloboda. The models professionally strode the runway displaying attire provided by Second Time Around Clothing.

The first segment featured models wearing daytime casual fashions selected to encourage reminisances  of the 20′s thru the 50′s.

As a special dessert and coffee and tea were served, those in attendance eagerly snapped up offerings from Second Time Around Clothing.

In the second segment of the show, the models brought to life the 60′s thru 2000 wearing their On the Town Fashions.

Raffle drawings featuring baskets from An Affair to Remember and Hooray’s Hollywood  were followed by a reprise of favorite scenes from previous shows.  A Visit Back to Hawaii was followed by a Sentimental Journey and by April in Paris. There was time to Remember Your Favorite Month.

The innate beauty of The Forever Young Models, Lee, Jackie, Marion, Isabel, Lucy, Elba, Angela, Rose, Provie and Anna was enhanced by the clothing that they modeled. They were joined by  our  male models,  Chuck, Bob, Chris, and Carmen.

There was a surpise visit to cap the show with refined dignity. Marie Antoinette’s royal look alike appeared with great aplomb and dignified presence to grace the event. Strangely, the royal look alike bore a striking resemblence to our parish nun, Sr. Pat. With royal dignity and stamina she held her weakly sewn seamed costume together with the help of her ladies in waiting. Her presence added warmth to an already effusive atmosphere. It also led to peals of laughter. Thunderous applause marked the final parade of the models.

There was a round of applause for  our hostesses, Anna and Charlotte as well as for the servers from the St. Maurice Special Team. Angela and Jackie handled ticket sales and Babe oversaw the door prizes.

It’s no wonder that the Forever Young Seniors Fashion  Luncheon is world renowned!
