Local honey that tastes good - and does good!
Last year I held three fundraisers in The Garden (you can check out my post from last year). This year I'm doing it again with one small change.Last summer we raised $333 for 3 different organizations: Denman Middle School PTSA, the National MS Society, and Or Shalom Jewish Community. This time the school fundraiser will be for whatever school you want to donate to!
If you enjoyed The Garden Bazaar (if you were there, I know you did!), please come out and support The Second Garden in our fundraising efforts:
August 15, Noon - 4 pm, Back to School Fundraiser
When you come on August 15 and purchase honey, just tell me which school you want the donation made to and 50% of that sale will go to your school. Denman and SOTA get favored school status. 100% of the sale will go to these schools if you select one as your school!
The Garden Bazaar was such a hit, there may be just a little of that flavor on this day.
September 2, 4:30 - 6 pm, Or Shalom Jewish Community
Get your honey for the new year and support a wonderful synagogue - www.orshalom.org.
September 13, 11 am - 3 pm, National MS Society
Another Second Sunday Brunch event. Instead of a potluck, guests are asked to bring a donation. Further support The National MS Society by buying some honey and 100% goes to sponsor our team, people in purple for the National MS Society's Waves to Wine ride. Waves to Wine is a two day fundraising bike ride. Our whole family will be riding 90 miles to help bring an end to this terrible disease.
My mother struggled with multiple sclerosis for many years. When she passed, we formed our team in honor of her, the lady in purple, from the play for colored girls who have considered suicide when the rainbow is enuf which she produced, directed and starred in when she was forced to retire because of MS.
The Garden is right next to the Sunnyside Conservatory on Monterey Blvd. Bring a jar for $1 off your honey. Hope to see you at one or more of these special honey sales.
Until then, stay sweet!
The best part of the fundraising days is meeting schoolmates and neighbors, and it's a special way to donate that builds community.
