Fashion Show November 2010

Malahide Lions Club held their very successful Fashion Show on 18th November. The venue was Portmarnock Sports and Leisure Centre.

The Show was in aid of Mediation Northside. This free mediation service helps people from disadvantaged areas who are involved in conflict. It helps them to resolve conflict in a positive way, and avoids escalation of these conflicts. They train volunteers from the local communities/organization as mediators and they provide this service within their own areas.

This service builds capacity within the community and empowers people; this is a highly valued community resource. It is supported by local groups and statutory agencies. The service they provide requires a certain level of administrative support, supervision and training for volunteers, community employment and clients.

They are in urgent need of funds this year to continue to offer this free service.

This was a tremendously exciting event, with 39 models showcasing fabulous outfits from 10 local boutiques.

Auction: A highlight of the evening was the auction of this beautiful painting by Bríd Clarke, which raised a wonderful €1,000 for this great cause.

Brid Clarke from Malahide is  celebrating 40 years as a painter this year and almost 30 years as a watercolourist specialising in Landscape. This year in December she is for the last time holding her famed and well loved Studio Exhibition in December. For invitation and details look up her website www.bridclarke.ie
