Boutique

The Boutique raises money both for our local Chapter and for AOSA scholarships like Shields-Gilespie and Keetman. We do this mostly by making and selling items that our National Membeship might want, from decorative to practical to inspiring.

Some of the wonderful items for sale at our boutique...

 

UPCOMING EVENT: MONDAY, JUNE 25th

Boutique Work Bee:

Assembling Streamers
Greacian Goeke's house
Monday, June 25, 10 am - 4pm

Come for any part of the day!

3998 Whittle Avenue, Oakland
415/318-9987 Greacian's cell
510/530-1611 land line

Please join Sue Woodruff and Greacian Goeke on Monday, June 25 for a day
of assembling the ribbon streamers onto wooden dowels.
We have materials ready to assemble 400 of these beauties and we just
need many hands to make it go quickly. Please bring some good gossip
(or at least some good songs) too, while you're at it.

We will start at 10 am so that people can leave by 3:30 to avoid the
commuting hour. Please come over for any amount of time between 10 and
4. Please also bring snacks and lunch food [there is a Farmer Joe's
Market down the street at Fruitvale and MacArthur if you need
provisions]. First demo of how to assemble the
streamers will take place at 10:30 am.

We look forward to seeing you at another of our not-to-be-missed
gatherings. Please RSVP to Greacian:

ggoeke@rcn.com

to let us know you are coming. And let us know if you need directions.
