This year's theme "A Chocolate Affair," will treat guests to an afternoon of gourmet chocolate desserts, unique shopping, live music by the Donna Bailey Jazz Quartet, a formal wear resale and fall fashions modeled by local celebrities.

Vendors will line the halls of The Washington Place selling jewelry, handbags, gourmet foods, books and an array of novelties such as handmade scarves. Raffle baskets and a 50/50 raffle will be available.
