QFAC Calendar Girls for April

The first Calendar Girls Fashion Show was held on Saturday, February 28th at the Vista de la Montana United Methodist Church.  Close to 200 were in attendance at this unusual afternoon filled with fun and fashions including wearable quilts and garments representing every month of the year.

This show was created and directed by Board Member Carol Zupancic to raise money to help in the fight against women’s cancers.

Under the leadership of Karen Anderson, the Quilters II group from the Voyager RV Resort hosted the second Calendar Girls Fashion Show.  This event showcasing a fashion show, tea, sinfully wonderful dessert, and favors was held on Saturday, March 28th before a lively group of over 300 participants.  Guests included Mary Lou Levesque, one of QFAC’s 2009 Honorary co-chairpersons and Liz McMahon, Master of Ceremonies.  After the cat walk by the QFAC Board members, numerous raffle items contributed by members of the Quilters II, were given out. 

More than $5,000 was raised between the two shows to help in the fight against breast and gynecological cancers. 

Please call Carol Zupancic at (520) 825-6957 or e-mail her at outreach@quiltforacause.org to schedule a Calendar Girls Fashion Show.
