A fashionable event CC’s Clothes for Cancer, Sea View residents benefit from fashion show If you ask Maggie Graham, Bill Peck, the approximately 160 guests, or any of the models, they’ll all say Thursday’s Sea View Fashion Show was an entertaining success. Graham was the major planner behind the show, Peck was the master of ceremonies, and the models were: Carol Jennie, Linda Broderson, Judy Stopley, Lois Ferguson, Theresa Wentzel, Myrlin Chesson, Helen Donahue, Pat Bisgrove and Kidd Stubb. The “Dress Up for the Holidays” fashion show, jointly sponsored by the newly-organized Sea View Residents Council and CC’s Clothes for Cancer, included music by pianist Vivian Titus. The fashions ranged from a robe and jammies to slinky night-on-the-town styles, in all sizes. Many of the garments being shown were purchased by those in attendance — some literally right off the backs of the models.

In addition to the enjoyment and entertainment provided by the fashion show, Graham said it was also a wonderful opportunity for residents to get to know more about each other. “It was an excellent turnout,” she said. “And the main thing is, it was a fun event.”
