Fashion Show Money Well Spent: Meet the Scholarship Students

Tara A. Spears

As the much anticipated women’s day out event is getting closer, it’s good to know that the previous show’s donations have been working hard all year long. At the 2011 Women to Women Fashion Show, a large number of people stepped forward and generously contributed a total of $74,000 pesos toward our scholarship fund.  The Fashion Show has dedicated every peso to supporting 10 wonderful young women who are attending universities in Nayarit or Jalisco. All are from our local Jaltemba Bay area and, without these funds it is highly improbable that any of these young ladies would be able to pursue a higher education. So THANK YOU to all of you who stepped forward.

It is amazing that such long term effects radiate out from one delightful afternoon: not only do the families of the award winners have opportunities for careers that will enhance their personal future, but the entire community benefits from the training and knowledge that these particular young ladies will share for generations as voters and parents.  Most of our scholarship recipients are the first in their family to achieve higher education. They are true role models!

The three young ladies pictured will model at the upcoming event and are receiving Fashion Show scholarships.

Naomi – is more than halfway through a 4-year Tourism program at Universidad Tecnologica de Bahia de Banderas in Nuevo Vallarta, Nayarit. (elected Miss University in December)

Fernanda – is halfway through a 3-year program in Nursing at the technical school in Ixtlan, Jalisco

Mariela – is attending the Universidad de Autonoma de Nayarit in Tepic, studying Psychology with one year to go.

Other talented and bright local women, Mirian Sarai, Alma Araceli, and Ariana,(below) receive FS scholarships, but are unable to attend the FS. Let’s applaud all these hard working beauties!

In addition to the scholarship awards, proceeds from our 2011 Fashion Show were used to support the Cancer de Mama Clinic.  The FS has committed an ongoing grant to support the endeavors of the cancer clinic, helping more than 350 breast cancer survivors last year. 

While the 2012 Fashion Show , February 21, is nearly sold out, it is not too late to participate.  Tickets are still available from Yvonne at theThursday market (directly across from the church doors)  to purchase your ticket.  For more information about the Fashion Show group, go to www.mujeresamujeres.com

Ladies get your party mode on and join your friends for a day of glamour and to meet the charming scholarship recipients.
