(June 2014) Our 14th Annual Garden Tour over Mother’s Day weekend was a great success!  A total of $22,206 was raised; $19,535 in ticket sales and $2,671 in the basket drawings. Many deserving young women scholars will benefit.

For the two glorious days of the tour, guests complimented each of the beautiful gardens.  It was a delight to see mothers, daughters, grandmothers, friends and family enjoy the charming landscaping designs and plant and floral displays.  Many guests brought their cameras to capture some stunning designs.  Docents, homeowners, and landscape designer, Bill Williams, provided detailed information about the gardens.

Guests also participated in fun and whimsical basket drawings.  Over 30 baskets were offered.  We recognize the beautiful & and creative efforts of our individual donors and branch groups:  Mary Ellen Blake, Teresa Cheung, Sandy Hoffman, Mary Holzheimer, Sandy Killoran, Roseann Krane, Kathy McKnight, Judy Simkin, Norma Spencer, Paula Weintraub, Bill Williams, Liz Williams, Beads2Jewelry, Books II, Bumble Bees, Cinema 1, Contemporary Books, Epicureans, Evening Lit, First Friday Movie, Golf, Hooked on Books, International Gourmet, Ladybugs, Ladies of Rossmoor, Mah Jongg, Monday Movies, Movies ‘n Lunch, Oscars 1, Travel, and Wine Tasters.
