Soroptimists extend ‘Bra Bling’ deadline, Dean West birthday bash at the HUBB

With the cooling temperatures come the fundraisers, festivals and parties. Numerous activities are on the horizon, some for this weekend and some coming up this week.

The Soroptimists International Pahrump chapter wants to raise money to help with expenses for women going through breast cancer treatment and also for breast cancer research.

The “Bra Bling” submission deadline has been extended to Sept. 26 for more entries.

The object is to submit a bra. They can be made into purses, have shirt bottoms sewn to the bottom, have the cups decorated or become the bottom of a piece of jewelry. The possibilities are endless and the event is open to everyone and suits especially those crafty people.

The bras will be displayed in various locations where the public can vote for the people’s choice. A dinner and auction of the garments will follow.

Call 513-5203 for additional information.
