Fraternal Order of Eagles 3719 (FOE) hosted a second Salty Mermaid Style Show. The success of an earlier one prompted requests for a second. An SRO crowd agreed that the April 17th presentation was just as fantastic as the first one. Money from this event supports Eagles multiple charities. FOE President, and Chamber of Commerce Citizen (COC) of the Year, Jim Denys welcomed enthusiastic attendees. Salty Mermaid owner Shauna Kay Williams expressed her gratitude to the Eagles for hosting this event. By the way, Salty Mermaid was the COC choice for Business of the Year. Pairing the Eagles and Salty Mermaid together promised to produce a successful evening.
Fashion Show Model Coordinator Linda Chesser contacted models. Dee Ballard, Tammie Hernandez and Andi Fuque helped each choose her Salty Mermaid outfit and accessories. These charming women also made sure that all items were ready when ladies arrived at Eagles to dress. Jeff Murray of Party Machine Galveston provided an exciting cascade of music. Bob Hibbard deftly handled introducing each fashionably clothed presenter. Marsha Fredenburg, Sabrina Flowers, Jenn Smallwood, Wendy Dozier, Jessica Noxon, Sue Simmons, Rhonda Pavlu, State Representative Terri Leo Wilson, Gayle Gatewood, GG White, Paige Labrier, Belinda Hickman, Linda C Elissalde, Alle Pace, Joyce Thornborough, Judy Plaia, and 2024 Lighthouse Krewe Queen Karen Roberts modeled their selections with grace and flair. Enthusiastic applause erupted at each mannequin’s appearance.
Winners of special prizes were announced. Then all participants lined up on stage for a Bravo Finale. With the show over, viewers gathered around a table covered with delicious food samplings provided by Eagles women and Coco’s Confections. People exciting this gala affair received a Salty Mermaid bag containing gift cards. One was from Salty Mermaid to receive a 10% discount on purchases. That 10% will be donated to FOE 3719 for their charities. Model Alle Pace of Alexanne Aesthetics included a card that also offered a 10% discount.
What a sparkling evening filled with so many delights including a beautiful style show, delectable food and drink, prizes, gifts and proceeds to help local charities. It just goes to show how stylish an endeavor is when EAGLES AND SALTY MERMAID JOIN TOGETHER!
