Holiday Breakfast

 


The angels are coming again to celebrate our Annual Holiday Party!

We will be raising funds for

  • YWCA, Battered Women's Shelter
  • Rachel's  Women's Center and
  • Girl Scouts of San Diego and Imperial Counties  

 

Every year we are able to exceed the last in helping provide for the women and children in our county trying to make a better life for themselves. And this year I hope we can continue that trend by raising over $4,000 with your generous support of donations, sponsorships, and selling of raffle tickets. We hope you will join us for food, friends and bringing the angels to those in need.

 

I plan on taking extra vitamins, so I don't miss out this year. But I also realize so as not to run myself down that I need some helpers. If anyone is interested in being part of this special event, please contact me. [email protected] or 858-350-7287
