Fundraising Fashion Parade

 

 

On Wednesday 9th May,  The Kapiti Women’s Centre teamed up with Ballentynes Fashion Central to present a fashion parade of Ballentyne’s latest looks.  It was a thoroughly enjoyable evening and a wonderful fundraiser for the finishing touches on the new building. Thank you to the lovely women of Ballentynes Paraparaumu,  to our make up artists from Unichem Pharmacy at Kapiti Lights, and to the kind folk at Treasury Wine. Of course a big thank you also to the community who came along on Wednesday to support the event!
