CREATIVITY and elegance stood out Saturday at the Promenade Gardens as the Inner Wheel Club of Georgetown hosted its 27th annual Hat Show and Garden Party.The event is the Club’s main fund-raising activity. The hat competition for children and adults was held in three categories: elegant, topical and original. Music was provided by the Police Force Band as patrons enjoyed delicious tea served at the Tea Stall to go with tasty home-made snacks, pastries and cakes.
Coordinator Barbara Walrond said funds raised at the event are solely invested in improving the lives of the differently abled and the less fortunate.
First Lady Sandra Granger was among the distinguished guests at the event.
The Inner Wheel Club of Georgetown is a charitable organisation that raises funds in order to make an impact in the lives of the less fortunate through scholarships for young adults seeking training in the fields of education and medicine. They participate in community- development activities that benefit children and the elderly, as well as spread cheer on festive occasions.
The Club, chartered on March 16, 1985, recently celebrated 31 years of service, and still has active members such as Charter President Maylene Davis, who has served from the club’s inception. The National Park Playground is one of the Inner Wheel Club of Georgetown’s more visible projects.
