To the Editor:

The Christ Child Society, Albany Chapter is hosting a Red Wagon Luncheon and Fashion Show on Saturday, April 18, at the Italian American Community Center on Washington Avenue Extension in Albany.

The event will begin with coffee and pastry at 10:30 a.m. followed by a fashion show at 11 a.m., featuring unique and fashionable women’s apparel by J. Jill, accessories, and footwear. Our models will be the members of the Christ Child Society.

Please come and join us. All are welcome — reserve a table for friends and family to enjoy the event.

Adult reservations are $50 per person and child reservations are $20 per person to be paid in advance by either check or PayPal.

There will be a drawing for many lovely theme baskets put together by volunteers, along with door prizes. Your reservation is necessary no later than April 1 and you must let us know in advance if you cancel.
