Women's Club of Inverness to Host Holiday Fair Nov. 8

The Women's Club of Inverness presents its fall charity Holiday Fair on Tuesday, November 8.

The Women’s Club of Inverness presents its fall charity on Tuesday, Nov. 8. The event will be held at Concorde Banquets, 20922 North Rand Road, Kildeer, IL and is open to the public. Entitled Nature’s Holiday Song, the event is certain to be a rousing success! In this time of great need, WCI needs your support!

Each year the Women’s Club of Inverness holds two major fund raisers, one in the fall and one in the spring. These fund raisers enable WCI to award scholarships to local students and contribute to worthwhile organizations located in the area. In addition, the fall Holiday Fair provides support to needy area families through the Palatine Adopt-a-Family program.

Attendees will have the opportunity to shop, have a chance to win one of WCI’s signature raffle baskets, participate in the silent auction or 50/50 raffle, and purchase WCI’s special Christmas ornaments. A delicious holiday luncheon is also available!
