The Fashion Show, co-chaired by Sharon Crandall and Ann Targonski-Brown along with an active committee of volunteers, made this event an incredible success. The evening also included a silent and live auction with featured items such as an ad in the New Britain Herald; Hospital for Special Care’s Sky Box at the Rock Cats; Fox Fur UGG Boots and Purse; one-week stay in Newport and a lobster bake at the Beach at Agostini/Vaughan summer home.

The success of this event is indicative of the generosity of the Greater New Britain community in good times and in difficult times. CCARC’s Board of Directors expresses our sincerest gratitude to all who attended and supported this event and especially to Paul Salina for volunteering his time to take all the wonderful pictures.
