| Glamour and style will be center stage during the second Couture & Class fashion show and luncheon from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 21, in the Carter Partnership Center at Delaware Technical & Community College in Georgetown.
Proceeds from the show, which is hosted by the Jack F. Owens Campus Development Council, will be used to benefit Delaware Tech students in Sussex County.
Sue Saliba, college trustee and member of the council, is chairwoman of the event.
The planning team, which is composed of community members and college staff, includes Suzi Berry, Susanne Betts, Ruth Briggs King, Alison Buckley, Kathy Cannon, Sally Gregg, Peg Hertrich, Kay Hosmane, Esther Ingram, Abbi Irelan, Becky Johnson, Bob Johnson, Lili Kohr, Paula Perez, Sue Saliba, Judi Sciple, Ileana Smith, Jackie Sopa, Joann Thompson, Susanne Truitt and Monica Viana.
Presenting men's and women's clothing in the categories of casual, business, holiday and resort wear will be Carltons, Rose Garden, Sole and Tickled Pink, all in Rehoboth Beach; That Boutique! in Milford; and Coolspring Cottage, Deanna's/Piccolino, Tiara's Bridal Boutique, Twila Farrell and Aquamarine, all in Lewes.
The featured announcer is Cacia Batts of Middletown, the reigning Mrs. Delaware 2009. She serves as a role model for Delaware's married women and represented the state at the Mrs. America Pageant in early September.
New to the event this year are a historical exhibit of formal gowns worn by Elsie Williams, wife of former U.S. Sen. John J. Williams of Millsboro; a silent auction of travel packages to various locations; and at the show's end, a shopping bazaar from which attendees can purchase their favorite runway items with a portion of the proceeds donated to the college.
On the menu for lunch is a delicate vegetable quiche with fresh spinach, red bell pepper and imported Swiss cheese; fresh garden greens topped with a grilled, citrus-seasoned portabella mushroom; pumpkin bruleé and mulled sparkling cider.
Ticket price is $25 per person and includes lunch. A table for eight may be reserved for $175. Ten dollars per ticket is tax deductible.
Seating is limited; tickets are available by reservation only until Friday, Nov. 13.
