Chairmen for the 11th Annual Latin Women's Initiative Fashion Show and Luncheon, Lucia and Michael Cordua welcomed over 100 vibrant guests to the kick off for the event at Tootsies. Chatter and shopping were the order of the night as guests sipped Slimritas and visited with jewelry designer Claudia Lobao. Looking for the perfect ensemble for the May 3 luncheon was top of mind as the ladies applauded LWI President Rosi Hernandez on the announcement of the Latin designer that will be featured in the Fashion Show, Alejandro Carlin. She thanked them for all their support and
the impact they have made on the lives of so many women and children in the Latino community, encouraging table sales. Hernandez also announced the beneficiaries for the luncheon this year, six note worthy non-profits that help women and children,
Cristo Rey Jesuit College Preparatory of Houston, Kids Meals, Casa de Esperanza, The Rose, Memorial Assistance Ministries and Life Houston
