| Pot of Gold 2008 |

 Save the date now for the 2008 Pot of Gold Luncheon presented by AT&T! The Rainbow Days 2008 Pot of Gold Luncheon will be held on Friday, April 18, 2008 at the Hilton Anatole Hotel, from 11:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. Rainbow Days is counting on the event to raise over $200,000 to benefit the children and families we serve. 
This year's luncheon, co-chaired by Michelle Esposito and Sabrina Schiller, promises to be an exciting event with a projected 650 guests in attendance. The 2008 luncheon will honor three school districts who have partnered with us for over 20 years, enabling us to provide services to so many children in need. The Dallas, Richardson and Grand Prairie districts will be honored.
All proceeds received from the luncheon will support the programs of Rainbow Days, Inc. If you would like to sponsor a table, purchase an individual seat or donate a silent auction item, please contact Lynette Smith at lynettes@rdikids.org or 214-217-3831. |
