Lutheran Community Services has hatched an idea for a fashion show that features senior models wearing an array of designer fashions to show that seniors can be bold and beautiful in as they go about their activities at home and in the community.
Local clothing designers, hairstylists and makeup artists will be invited to participate in creating the “look” for spring 2015.
Volunteers can be on the planning committee for the show coming to a venue in Tacoma next April. Organizers say eight to 10 women are needed, along with hair stylists, makeup artists, fashion designers, models and planners. Prospective volunteers can get more information from Diane Tilstra at 206-948-8309 or mdtilstra@aol.com.
Proceeds from the show will benefit the Senior Companion program of LCSNW to enable companions to be reimbursed for transportation expenses not currently covered by funding. The program has 26 companions working with 83 clients in Pierce and Kitsap counties.
