Bryony House presents: The Scarlet Soiree
Emily MacIsaac // October 31, 2011
Get ready for a glamorous night at Bryony House’s Scarlet Soiree on Thursday, November 3, 2011, at the World Trade and Convention Centre (WTCC). It’s time to dust off your party shoes and take out that fancy dress or tux you’ve been waiting to wear. Bryony House has teamed up with the RCMP and Halifax Regional Police to create a fabulous celebrity purse auction and networking event.
Bryony House is a shelter here in Halifax for women and their children escaping intimate partner violence. One in Four women in Nova Scotia experience some form of violence, either physically or mentally. Bryony House provides essential programs and services to the community, including a 24-hour distress line to provide support for those affected by situations involving intimate partner violence.
Your night begins when you step onto the elegant red carpet, walk toward the eager paparazzi (a photographer will be present to capture your moment in the limelight!) and into the Grand Ballroom. The Jubilee Swing Orchestra will whisk you back in time to old Hollywood as Heidi Petracek of CTV’s Morning Live emcees the event and Chief Crown Prosecutor Denise Smith offers advice as keynote speaker.
Dance, mingle, and sample delightful treats while placing bids on the lovely purses being modelled by handsome RCMP and HRP officers. Not interested in purses? There are a variety of options for the gentlemen in the audience as well–a surprise you won’t want to miss!
A splendid time will surely be had by all: guests will spend a delightful evening in old Hollywood, bidding for purses signed by the likes of Avril Lavigne or Reba McEntire in support of a great cause.
Join us at this black-tie event and support women and children escaping intimate partner violence.
