I attended the Capital City Rescue Mission Banquet at Michael's Banquet House in Latham, NY. Proceeds from the event went to fund the Mission's Supportive Housing Project to equip each of the 44 apartments in the Supportive Housing building with a kitchenette and a bathroom.

Michael's Banquet House has a lot of full length mirrors, so I got to get a good look at my fascinator in action. When I walk, the top layer of feathers catches the breeze and they flutter very playfully.
You even get a peek at my Marc Fisher Joey Peep Toe pumps! These are my go-to special event shoes. I wore them to the opera and to my wedding earlier this year.
It is a privilege to have the resources to dress up, looking and feeling beautiful at an event that supports the work of those who minister to the less fortunate.
We heard very personal stories of lives of violence, tragedy and loss from three people that turned around their lives with the help of the Rescue Mission. I am thankful that I have not had to walk in their shoes and grateful that I am able to help them by supporting the Capital City Rescue Mission.
A quick peek at what the Mission does in our community:
