More than 100 people turn out for BIW fashion show

Attendees at the Temple Beth Israel Women’s fashion show were the picture of elegance as they ran with a “Breakfast at Tiffany's" theme for the fundraiser, enjoying fabulous food, fashion and fun inspired by the chic Audrey Hepburn.

Sylvia Pastor, one of the main organizers, said she was pleased that more than 120 people were able to come this year for the event held on Feb. 10 at Michaels on East.

“It was terrific,” she said. “The hurricane interrupted a lot of things as people left and came back, but we filled 15 tables.”

Pastor and co-chair Maxine Tauber brought the movie to life with black and white satin awning runners and treats in the iconic Tiffany blue-colored boxes. As attendees enjoyed a luncheon, they watched the half dozen models strutting the runway, deejay Harry Wright playing “Moon River” and other tunes. They had three outfit changes from Wearable Art, ending with a final ensemble.

Funds raised from the luncheon and raffle go toward supporting the community, particularly for women’s organizations.

“We try to help out as many organizations in need of funds as we can,” Pastor added. “We send our kids to summer camp and do all we can to help.”
