Jewelry in the fashion show will be provided by Melinda Maria Designs. Music will be provided by the well-known team of Robin Adler and Dave Blackburn. Master of ceremonies will be Bob Tavano.

Lunch will consist of a fresh berry and baby spinach salad, roasted turkey breast with raspberry chipotle glaze, broccoli penne pasta with smoked Gouda cream sauce, fresh baked bread and butter, and assorted cookies and brownies for dessert, along with freshly-brewed coffee and tea. There will be a no-host bar.
