This is the networking, VIP and gifting celebration called Couture & Cocktailz! for the Colleyville Woman's Club upcoming fashion show, and if it is like past year's celebrations, get ready to party. It will be held Feb. 9 from 5-8 p.m. at the home of Patti and Chuck Irwin, 2208 Hawthorne Ave. in Colleyville. This soiree is not only a great opportunity to mix and mingle with many of the business people in our community, but an even better opportunity to just have fun.The $50 item is going to be auctioned off at the Colleyville Woman's Club Fashion Show & Luncheon Benefit on March 23 at the Hurst Conference Center, 1601 Campus Dr., Hurst.All categories of items are welcome such as home goods, computer items, electronics and sports items; they just have to have a value of over $50. And face it, if you don't have time to think of something or grab something from your business, just get a $50 gift card. Those are always top items at any auction.Now of course, because we are talking about free food and libations, they do need a head count, so let them know you are coming by either calling 817-897-0789 or by emailing at fundraising@c-w-c.org. Don't forget, I don't want them running out of drinkie poos because one of you forgot to RSVP.Need an idea on what to do for Valentine's Day?
