New Lenox Lions Club: Local Models Walk Runway at Garden Party Fashion Show

The New Lenox Lions Club is sponsoring its 4th Annual Fashion Show to raise money to support community organizations. Local models are anticipated to stroll the runway, sporting designer Vault Denim jeans and more.

The fashion show is scheduled to begin at 1:30 p.m. March 3 at the New Lenox VFW, 323 Old Hickory Road. Tickets are $25 in advance. Reserved corporate tables are available as well for $250, said Lisa Kline, event coordinator. 

The dinner includes soup, salad and dessert buffet. There will be complimentary wine, which is sponsored by Suburan Bank & Trust, 400 E. Lincoln Highway.

Donations for a silent auction are being collected too. "Anything that you could make available would be greatly appreciated," said Kline.  

"We greatly appreciate the tremendous support we have received from the New Lenox community in the past. Over the past 65 years we have continued to be a strong and viable organization made up of various people in our community."

This year's fashion show sponsors are Manhattan's Hansen's Villa Boutique, 395 S. State St., and a local Vault Denim distributor. Toplist with Cheryl will provide the music, and the posters and tickets were donated by Perma Graphic Printers,216 N. Marley Road.

A non-profit, service organization, the Lions Club has been working for decades to assist people with a variety of needs. One of the club's primary outreach programs is collecting old eyeglasses for use by those who can't afford a pair for themselves. The eyeglasses are distributed around the world.

Locally, the organization's members volunteer their assistance to support the  Lincoln Way Special Recreation Association and Trinity Services. They have donated to the New Lenox Library and worked to collect food for the pantries in the community. 

Cash donations are welcome too. For more information about donation auction items or making a cash donation, visit the New Lenox Lions Club website.  Tickets can be purchased by calling Suburban Bank & Trusts' Lisa Kline at 815-717-6982 or Michelle Hepburn at 708-906-8317.
