The Walter Raleigh Hotel was the venue for a very special Fashion Show on Tuesday 23rd of March. The Show featured the wonderful array of fashion available at Touch of Class, Youghal and all profit on the night was donated to the local branch of Casa. Photo: Michael Hussey www.youghalonline.com

Local boutique owners Tess and Teresa O’Brien were most professional in their approach to the staging of the event having had many years of practice as it has been staged for many local charities over the past 15 years. The very large attendance were most appreciative of the night’s entertainment and were loud in their praise of all concerned.

Casa has been in Youghal for the past 27 years. it is a national organisation which seeks to develop relationships between able-bodied people and people with special needs through socials, outings etc. Casa also brings sick people to Lourdes and many people from Youghal and the surrounding areas have travelled to Lourdes with Casa over the 27 years of its existence.

Funding all of these activities is very costly, (although helpers pay their own way) so Youghal  Casa was extremely grateful to all at Touch of Class for this wonderful injection of funds which allows us to spend less time fundraising and more time doing what we do best, spending time with our very special friends in Casa.

The group would also like to thank the very kind businesses who, even in these difficult financial times, sponsored some very generous prizes for the raffle.

There were over 450 in attendance on the night and a fabulous array of colours & styles were modeled by Illusive Pro Co. Touch of Class is 15 years in business this year. This season, Tess & Teresa have introduced exciting new labels, Expresso, Kate Cooper and CoCoMenthe. Touch of Class stocks sizes 10 to 18 and has a wide variety of labels on offer.
