Centerpieces were a huge success,
...raising over $6,000!
The Circle of Hope Luncheon was held to raise support for the children and families at Hope Street Family Center, and their own contribution--15 unique centerpieces made by Family Literacy parents (sampling pictured above) and after-school Youth Center students--helped us surpass our fundraising goal. The after-school Youth Center children ages 6-18 spent an afternoon designing the layout of each vase, glueing tile pieces to the ceramic pots. Volunteers Eloise Appel and Lilith Borko (pictured above) filled in the mosaic designs with grout that brought together the Hope Street colors of gray and orange. Mothers and fathers from the Family Literacy program created beautifully unique flowers -- some were painted, some were crocheted, but all were handmade. The centerpieces were arranged by the families that created them. Guest were invited to bid on the centerpieces, with the 15 lucky luck winners generating more than $6,000 to benefit Hope Street Family Center programs.
