Spring Fling Brunch & Fashion Event

Fashion Show Flyer

Net proceeds benefit

The Woman’s Club of Clayton (TWCC) and Dillard’s at Triangle Town Center in Raleigh co-sponsored a Brunch & Fashion Event on April 11, 2026 at the First Baptist Church of Clayton (FBCC) Fellowship Hall.  A delicious brunch was prepared by the church’s talented Baptist Men’s cooking team. Models were members/family members of TWCC and members at FBCC.  Emcee for the event was the very talented Ann Austin, owner/operator of the Clayton School of Dance and Interior Designer at Blair House Interiors. In 2024, Ann was recipient of the Town of Clayton’s Christmas Spirit Award.  The purpose of the event was to raise funds for the  Isaiah 117 House in Selma using proceeds from ticket sales, silent auction and individual donations.  Net proceeds were $6000!

About Isaiah 117 House

Isaiah 117 House provides a safe, loving, and supportive environment for children awaiting foster care placement.  When children are removed from their homes for safety concerns, they often arrive at child welfare offices scared, hungry, and without belongings and can wait  hours or days to be placed in a foster home. Isaiah 117 provides a comforting home where they receive clean clothes, warm meals, toys, blankets, and emotional support while child welfare staff work to find an appropriate placement.

As of 2025, Isaiah 117 had 57 locations across 13 states. In February 2026, the second house in NC is opening in Selma, NC.  Each Isaiah 117 location is dependent on community supporters to do all the work to change the way foster care begins in their communities.  TWCC has been a supporter of Isaiah 117 by “purchasing” a bedroom and half bath and individual members have purchased items on the house’s wish list on Amazon.

On behalf of the Murder/ Mystery dinner committee, we would like to thank everyone who contributed to our annual fundraiser. It was another fantastic success!

Many thanks to Food Lion in Riverwood and to Costco on Wake Forest Road for their contributions of $100 gift certificates, and to our many members who generously gave money for our many needed supplies, cakes, and casseroles!

We also want to thank Betsy Grannis for her tireless dedication to managing the food galley, along with the assistance of Lance and Debra Beal, with Lou and Susan Mancuso. 
 
Our waitstaff was terrific and managed to navigate the dining room without a single run-in from the cast of Clayton Theatrical’s!  Huge kudos to these ladies.  Our clubhouse was packed to the max with patrons each evening, and we even had a waitlist for tickets at one point. It is predicted that we will average over 85 people present in the Clubhouse each evening. 
 
The ladies who are photographed standing in our kitchen were our Friday night volunteers, and our members standing in front of the ship were our Saturday night volunteers. 
A special “thank you” goes to Mr. Andrew Wade and his cast of performers, The Clayton Theatrical’s who hail from high schools around Johnston County.
