Concordia to Host Annual Fashion Show at Butler Country Club

Cabot, PA – Concordia Lutheran Ministries will host its fourth annual Fashion Show on Saturday, May 2 at the Butler Country Club, with all proceeds benefiting the Good Samaritan Endowment Fund, Concordia’s charity care fund.

Tickets are $25 and include lunch, the fashion show, $5 mystery bags, a basket auction, clothes, jewelry and beauty products sale – attendees can even have their nails done.  Once again, Fashions by Phyllis, a clothing retailer who has shops in Bellevue and Meadowland, will provide the fashions for the day. Last year’s event hosted close to 300 people.

The menu for the afternoon is Chilled Strawberry Soup, Polynesian Chicken, Rice Pilaf, Snap Peas & Carrots, and Lemon Chantilly Cake.

The Good Samaritan Endowment Fund provides Concordia with additional funds to support residents with depleted resources. This fund was established in the early 1990s and has since helped hundreds of people meet the expense of the quality health-related services at Concordia.

Concordia cares for many resident each year who do not have sufficient resources to pay for the full cost of their care. In skilled nursing, the Pennsylvania Medical Assistance Program pays for most, but not all, of the care of residents without funds. In assisted living, however, there are no government programs to make up the shortfall between residents’ resources and the cost of care.

For more information or to reserve seats for the event, contact Concordia Director of Public Relations Shirley Freyer at 724.352.1571, ext. 8266.

Committee members include: residents - Harriet Bartmas, Norene Nelson, Joan Balicki, Pat Mrozinski, Betty Berg, Peggy Stark, Leona Zitzman, Rosie Hockenberry, Henrietta Maurhoff, Dorothy Blankenbuehler, Elizabeth Turner, Verlee Fischer, Lenore Roessing, Dorothy Gunther, Edith Waltenbaugh, Jane Norris, and Marlene Weissert, chair;  staff - Charlene Kline, Roni Lucas, Anzie Kelley, Jennifer McIntire, Sara Lemon, Roxie Nicol, Beth Wichrowski and Shirley Freyer.
