An Affair to remember
The Delta Chapter of the Women’s
Council of Realtors is holding its seventh
annual Fall Fashion Show on Friday,
Sept. 12 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at
Nines restaurant in Brentwood.
Entitled A Black & White Affair,
the music and fashion extravaganza
will feature fashions and accessories
provided by local establishments. The
show is the culmination of six months
of preparation, countless volunteer
hours and relentless choreography and
music rehearsals involving more than
20 models.
After attending last year’s event,
110° Magazine Publisher Tricia Piquero
said, “As a past member of WCR and
licensed Realtor myself, I have been
involved in many fashion shows. This
production is by far one of the best that
I’ve seen. A defi nite must attend!”
Proceeds from A Black & White
Affair contribute to high-level education
for East Contra Costa County
members supporting the WCR mission
to provide our local area with professional
excellence.
The $40 price of admission includes
lunch. The event is a sold-out
affair every year. To reserve tickets,
