🎩🌹 CWIL Derby Hat Day Highlights 🌹🎩

What an amazing time we had at our CWIL Derby Hat Day! The room was filled with elegance, creativity, and sisterhood as everyone showed up in their beautiful Derby attire.

This special event was also a fundraiser for our scholarship program, helping us continue to support and invest in future students and their educational goals. 🎓💕

From the festive decorations to the fellowship and fun, the spirit of Derby Day was truly on display. A special highlight of the day was our fabulous hat showcase — congratulations to Cora Hairston for winning Best Hat! 👒✨ Your style truly stole the show!

Thank you to all our members and supporters who helped make this event a success. Together, we continue “Lifting As We Climb!” 💕
