Fundraiser with Flair Supports Youth R1 Caller-Times Saturday, March 4, 2017 1B Faces in the Crowd Souper Bowl fundraiser Students showcase the supports food bank 2B history of Coast Bend 6B COASTAL BEND’S BEST PEOPLE Hola! Fundraiser with flair supports youth INSIDE SOCIETY SARAH TINDALL Charity League of Corpus Christi, with lun- cheon chairs Jordan An- derson and Sara Smith, hosted a gorgeous lun- cheon and style show February 16 at the American Bank Cen- ter. The fashions of CAMILLA lit up the runway with the beautiful caftans, swimwear, evening wear and daywear of “Chinese Whispers,” the fashion house’s Spring/ Summer 2017 collection inspired by the traditional artisans of China and Tibet. League President Sherry Rumley and the executive officers, Lesleigh Landreth, vice president; Meredith Ryan, recording secretary; Michelle Ezell, corresponding secretary; Wendy Moore, treasurer; Laurel Crawford, welfare chairman; and Dana Madry, parliamentarian, organized a fantastic year of fundraising for local charity Youth Odyssey. The final tally an- nounced at the luncheon was $259,505 raised for the organization’s new ropes course outdoor area. “CCISD reports that youth who at- tend our programs have decreased dis- ciplinary action, increased attendance, increased grades, increased testing scores, and healthier lifestyles,” Becky Meyer, executive director of Youth Od- yssey, explained to the guests during the presentation. I was delighted to be the guest of Meredith Ryan and enjoyed catching up with Jill Jacobs and Catherine Suss- er who were also seated at her table, which was decorated in typical fabu- lous Charity League style with a lan- tern, Saltillo tiles, and lace to fit this year’s theme, Bienvenidos a San Mi- guel. The luncheon was preceded by a Cunningham student wins cocktail party the evening beforehand, organized by Holly Thomas and Chris- ty Tupaj, at the lovely home of Lesleigh regional bee and is now Landreth.
