The Women’s Council of Realtors Sarasota held its 23rd annual luncheon and fashion show at Hyatt Regency Sarasota on Wednesday, Sept. 7. The event featured 22 models from various real estate agencies who sported outfits from Foxy Lady and Martin Freeman. Proceeds went to Guardian ad Litem (GAL), an organization that provides legal representatives for children who don’t have any support. Committee member Tina Darling says this was a record-breaking year with 408 attendees — more than any of the preceding 22 annual events.
