Friends, Flowers, and Fashion
By Leslie Foley
Friends of Hospice hosted its annual, most anticipated festive Valentine’s Luncheon and Style Show featuring fashions by J.McLaughlin and one-of-a-kind, beautiful flower centerpieces courtesy of Live Oak Garden Club members. Guests enjoyed lunch and placed bids at the auction table, which was filled with over 100 auction items. Models from Friends of Hospice and the Live Oak Garden Club displayed lovely pieces, and then Dr. Robin Dillard, Board President, followed the event with a presentation. Many guests purchased the donated floral arrangements, which would make for the perfect Valentine’s Day treat. A most successful sip-and-shop was held at J.McLaughlin five days later, with 10% of the proceeds going toward uninsured hospice patients.
