If you were there and/or supported REACH in this annual fundraiser, we are grateful for YOU!! A special thank you to our Women of Vision, to our wonderful emcee, to our keynote speaker, to each of the boutiques who donated clothing to be modeled, and to the local establishments/shops/restaurants/artists who donated items for our auctions. Finally, a big thank you to our Special Events Committee and coworkers who worked for months on the details of putting on this hugely successful fundraiser! We are so grateful for every one of you! - Enjoy the highlights of our 2023 Fall Fashion Show as featured on our new YouTube channel, @ReachofHaywoodCounty!
This is such a beautiful piece of art created and donated by long-time REACH supporter, Margaret Roberts, to REACH for our annual fall fashion show held last month. REACH was so honored to offer this exquisite creation to our guests as the event’s live auction item. The bidding spoke volumes for the true value of this labor of love! Congratulations to the winner who stated she is a collector of Margaret Robert’s art; many were envious!
A very special note of gratitude to the artist-extraordinaire, Margaret Roberts! REACH appreciates you in ways which are immeasurable, much like your talent! Thank you!
