Methodist Orphanage Alumni Fashion Show to be Held
Methodist Orphanage alumni will grace the runway in fashions made popular by Clarice Holden of Island Breeze, at a fashion show and silent auction to be held at
11 a.m., Saturday, March 6, at the Sea Trail Convention Center in Sunset Beach, NC.
Included with the fashion show will be a luncheon and keynote address by Bobby Richardson, a former New York Yankee. Tickets are $30 and proceeds for the event will go to support the efforts of Methodist Home for Children (MHC).
MHC has provided more than a century of care for North Carolina’s children and families. Founded in 1899 as a traditional campus-based orphanage in Raleigh, MHC is now a community-based agency active throughout the state, especially in the central and eastern regions. MHC provides an array of programs and services to:
· ensure that children grow up in safe, loving homes;
· educate parents and caregivers about how best to nurture children and young adults;
· help young people navigate adolescence; and
· work to eradicate the social and family problems that lead to abuse, neglect, family disruption and child abandonment.
