3rd Annual Arts & Tea Celebration
Celebrate Spring at Home of Guiding Hands

May 17, 2008

Join Home of Guiding Hands for a morning of art and tea! The 3rd Annual Arts & Tea Celebration will be held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, May 17, at the Ronald Reagan Community Center in El Cajon.

“The Arts and Tea Celebration is unique and is becoming more and more popular each year,” said Events Coordinator Marcy Blumberg. “This springtime event combines the tastes and informal atmosphere of an English Tea and shopping. You and your friends will find a variety of art to purchase; unique, hand-created items and have the opportunity to meet the designers and artists who created them. This is the ideal opportunity to find those perfect gifts for hard-to-shop for friends and family members, or yourself.”

Reservations to attend are $25 in advance, or $35 at the door. Sponsorships are also available, including the opportunity to sponsor a Home of Guiding Hands resident to attend. Tickets and sponsorship information may be obtained by calling (619) 938-2854; or via email: marcy@guidinghands.org.
