Just back from the Les Femmes du Monde announcement party at Bailey’s Prime Plus where the gals were sipping champagne and sampling chocolates. LFdM President Michelle Mew confirmed that the 2011 Woman of the Year will be Tincy Miller. Plans are already in place for a sponsors’ party at Dee and Charles Wylys‘ home and the big gala at Brook Hollow Golf Club.
But it wasn’t all champagne, chocolates and Tincy. These gals have a reputation for being fashion savvy, so naturally they had some items available for purchase, but not your typical ones.
As you probably know, Yvonne Crum’s dotter-in-law Bri Crum is pr-ing hotter-than-hot chef Lisa Garza, who just came out with a line of aprons. No, not your hearty, warm-up-the-grill type with pockets for the grill mitts. Rather the hostess type that your mother put on to greet guests. Think evening gown instead of overalls.
And speaking of Yvonne, she and her running buddy Jill Rowlett reported that the unpredictable April weather was not going to interfere with Thursday’s Mad Hatter’s Tea Party at the Arboretum. “The show’s inside and the lunch table are covered with a tent,” said Yvonne, who added that there were still tickets available. Thanks to the tent, they can always “expand to accommodate.”

What a great picture of Yvonne and Jill! I can’t wait to see what these two show up in at the Mad Hatter’s event! Never a dull moment around this place…

Great write up ladies of Les Femmes are very involved in the City not just fund raisers for education programs at Children’s Medical Center and World Affairs Council.
We love being in the forefront!
