When the Moraga Women's Society was formed in 1967, the group sponsored many community based events, like the pre-incorporation mayoral race, the annual September Artist Faire at the Commons and the biannual Christmas House Tour. This month, MWS is presenting "Couture for Moraga," a fashion show and luncheon from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Monday, April 18, at the Trinity Cultural Center, 1700 School St., Moraga. Fashions are provided by Draper's and Damon of Walnut Creek.
Going back to their roots, this event will highlight nine prominent organizations in Moraga who will provide models: Ellen Beans, Moraga Citizens Network and 2012 Moraga Citizen of the Year; Edy Schwartz, New Rheem Theatre director of community marketing and 2010 Moraga Citizen of the Year, and past-president of the Moraga Chamber of Commerce; Teresa Onoda, Moraga Town Council member and California Plein-Air artist; Ginny Ruble, president of the Moraga Garden Club; Fiona Marlow, a board member of Board of Friends of the Moraga Library; Judy Ayres, membership chair of Moraga Women's Society; Linda Borrelli, past president of Moraga Movers, board member of Rescue One Foundation of the Moraga-Orinda Fire District; Elsie Mastick, Moraga Historical Society ex-officio board member and archivist; and Sally Whipple, co-president of the Moraga Educational Foundation.
Sam Sperry, first vice president of the Kiwanis Club of Moraga Valley, and SIRS branch No. 174 Little Sir Bill Lund will assist during the event. All proceeds benefit Moraga schools, library and parks and recreation. Tickets are $45 and are still available. Call 925-376-3187 for reservations.
