Come celebrate the 80th Anniversary of the Soroptimist Club being in Chilliwack! This fall (Oct 24th), the Soroptimist International of Chilliwack group will be hosting their first annual Pajamas & Pearls event at the Coast Hotel in Chilliwack. There will be dinner, dancing, a raffle with very unique items, and an Interactive Vendor Area as well! Doors open at 6pm, with dinner starting at 7pm. The dance (with music by DKX Entertainment) will start at 9pm. Our emcees for the evening will be Megan from Star FM's afternoon show! And if you'd like to stay the night, the Coast Hotel is offering discounted room rates for all guests. Cari Moore, our club President, and Heather Rollins, the Governor for Western Canada, will be saying something short and sweet about our local club, and what Soroptimist does as an International group. The Soroptimist is a group that benefits ladies and girls, so the tickets to this event are being sold to women only. All the vendors, and companies involved are all owned and managed by women as well. And all 100 guests will receive a goodie bag filed with free goodies from even more female-owned-and-operated local businesses! As the theme is Pajamas & Pearls, you can dress as casual, or as face, as you like! There will be a prize for the table with the best "pajamas" costumes, the best "pearl" costumes, and the best combo costumes! And hint, the prizes are bottles of wine!!! The Interactive Vendor area consists of a beautifully decorated bedroom (done by Louise of Pair Home Designs) to have photos taken. And this is NOT your ordinary photo booth - this is glamour done right! Brenda Davis, of Normans Photographic will be on site to capture photos of you individually, and as a group! There will also be eyelash extensions being done by Stephanie Veenstra (owner of Sugar N' Lashes), makeovers by Emmy Edwards (award-winning make-up artist), hair by Pam O'Keefe (owner of The Hair Garage), facial hair removal by Elia Lanteigne (owner of Sugar Me!), and Michelle Duncan, a local Jamberry rep, will be offering two nail wraps as well - ALL FOR FREE!!!!! Only 100 tickets will be sold, and already HALF are already sold, so be sure to get your tickets ASAP! Tickets are $80 each or a table of 8 for only $600 (thats a savings of $40). You can get your tickets to this fantastic event at Sugar'd Chilliwack (8-45085 Wolfe Road), or from any Soroptimist of Chilliwack member.
