Announcing the Petaluma Mother'Announcing Mother's
Club 6th Annual
Spring Tea & Hat Contest

Sunday, May 18, 2008 1:30-3:30 pm at the Sheraton, Petaluma. Tickets $25

The Spring Tea and silent auction is our largest fundraiser of the year. It is open to the public (women only) so please bring your close friends and family. We will raffle off great gift baskets and other incredible donated items. Proceeds will help fund club events, give us the ability to donate scholarships, and along with yearly dues will generate enough money to print and mail our monthly newsletter. Contact Veronica Blaustein at ronniebluestone@gmail.com to order your tickets.

As this is our only fundraiser each year, we are seeking donations of gift baskets prepared by members and silent auction items donated from vendors and community members. Please talk to your playgroups about creating a gift basket to raffle at our event or consider making a donation from your business to be one of our silent auction items. For more information about donating or to make a donation, please contact Veronica Blaustein at ronniebluestone@gmail.com or Kesa Labanowski at roxiek16@comcast.net.
