Over 60 women enjoyed the White Sunglasses Club and Chicks@Lunch "Kaftan and Glitzy Jewellery" Luncheon on Friday November 24. The Bella Luna Garden Restaurant at Southport (Gold Coast) provided a lovely setting for our fund raising to support the Animal Welfare League. Our glamourous White Sunnies hostess Jacquie made sure we all had a fun time with a lovely two course lunch with wine, two singers and a fashion parade.
