The Turks & Caicos Islands Red Cross hosted a fabulous High Tea and Fashion Show in Grand Turk over the weekend. This ‘island chic’ affair took place at The Atrium (courtyard) located at The Osprey Hotel on Pond Street – Saturday, March 10th, 2012.
While there, guests enjoyed wonderful performances by vocalist Renate Hinds, The New Testament Church Fabulous Boys who did a terrific dance routine, and Officer Dexter Landy, who not only performed solos on his saxophone, but also provided the event with fantastic DJ music.
The highlight of the High Tea was the fashion show. Clothing was provided the TCI Red Cross Thrift Shop and Kaylee’s Boutique, situated at the Grand Turk Inn. Attendees gave rousing rounds of applause as the models glided down the grand staircase, and made their way through the gorgeously decorated tables with guests immaculately dressed for the day’s event.
The High Tea, an en early evening of pure sophistication and civility, combined with TCI Red Cross’ usual elegance and excellence in service – saw persons dining on an assortment of scrumptious cakes, cookies, cupcakes, pies, turnovers, scones, other delectable baked goods and specialty treats; washing it all down with exquisite teas and a variety of beverages.
To cap things off, Spa Turqoise put on a ‘dollar raffle’ – where in which the prize was a spa treatment valued at $100.00 – that was won by Anna-Mae Williams. 109 persons participated, raising $109.00, with all proceeds from the raffle being donated to the Red Cross. What is more, Mrs Ann Dempsey won the second raffle, a gorgeous mirror valued at $150.00.
Courtney Robinson, TCI Red Cross Director said: “The TCI Red Cross is thankful to all that ventured out to support this fundraising initiative. The High Tea & Fashion Show was a successful one – owing our team of dedicated volunteers, the attendees who provided their custom, and those that assisted with seeing to its success.”
“We would like to express a profound thank you to The Osprey Beach Hotel, Beaches Turks & Caicos Resort & Spa, Grand Turk Methodist Church, Grand Turk Inn, Spa Turqoise, Turks & Caicos Islands Business College, HJRH high school home economics students and teachers, the models, performers, Mrs Sandy Williams, and Mrs Florence Bennett, our mistress of ceremony. We trust that the public supports all events that the TCI Red Cross host, as we strive to provide humanitarian aid to the most vulnerable people in our communities.”
