Goodwill Fashion Show spotlights cost-conscious couture

The third annual Goodwill Runway Show is Sept. 8 at Designer's Place in the VF Outlet Center.

A committee of volunteers is overseeing and tailoring a runway line of vintage and contemporary clothing found in Goodwill stores.

With more than 80 outfits, spectators can see how to have a trendy wardrobe on a thrifty budget.

Doors open at 4:30 p.m. and the show begins at 6:30 p.m. After the show, attendees can shop at the runway boutique.

Tickets are $40 and can be bought at The Store at Bell Tower and Goodwill stores in Berks County. They are available online at www.yourgoodwill.org or 717-525-6210.

• Residents within the jurisdiction of the Berks-Lehigh Regional Police Department can learn about police work beginning next month through the Lehigh County Citizens Police Academy.

The academy runs on Tuesdays from 7 to 9 p.m. from Sept. 20 to Nov. 1 at the Fogelsville Fire Company. The deadline to register is Sept. 6.

An application can be obtained at www.blrpd.org/index.php/citizens-police-academy or at the Upper Macungie Township website: www.uppermac.org.

• The nonprofit Business Executives Networking Group typically meets the first Monday of each month but the next meeting is Sept. 6 because of Labor Day.

The meeting will be in Room 227 of the Upland Center at Alvernia University.

The group facilitates networking among mid- to senior-level executives, or such executives in transition. It gives each member an opportunity to hone networking skills, meet peers from a variety of disciplines, share job leads and develop networking opportunities.

The meetings the rest of the year are Oct. 3, Nov. 7 and Dec. 5.
