She can tell you more about the fund raiser that was held at her home. It was wonderful. 2. Carole Lee´s idea for money necklace was very profitable and fun. Carole Lee´s money necklace was rather easy. She twisted fake money around wire, scrunched it up so the wire didn´t show and members took turns wearing this at the various functions. The necklace "appraised" at $200 but many more dollars were collected than that as a raffle (tickets and everything) that went on for several weeks. A sizeable profit was nade on this. 3. Fashion Shows Several chapters have been quite successful with fashion shows: (Scottsdale, Lake Havasu Area), talent shows, golf tournaments, and other benefits. 4.
