Hats in the Garden tea to benefit FPRC

FALLBROOK – Everyone is invited to join the Fallbrook Pregnancy Resource Center (FPRC) on Saturday, June 25, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. for Hats in the Garden, a fun tea and fanciful silent auction honoring special needs moms in the community and benefiting the clients of the pregnancy care center. The event, held at the Fallbrook Community Center at 341 Heald Lane, will feature special guest speaker Lisa Sales, the mother of a special needs son.

FPRC’s last tea and auction was in Oct 2014, and the event was so successful executive director Carolyn Koole said, it’s time for another one.

FPRC is a nonprofit organization committed to providing life-affirming care for those in pregnancy-related crisis. In 2015, the center had 619 visits with young moms and their families. Clients benefited from one-on-one time with caring volunteers who listened, learned, and then shared valuable educational resources, physical resources, referrals, and spiritual encouragement.

Funds raised through this event will support operations, including the Earn While You Learn program that features a new GED prep program that empowers moms to complete their education.

Underwriting and sponsorships for the tea are welcome, and donations for the auction are deeply appreciated. In 2014, for example, the auction featured baskets that ranged from practical items such as kitchen gadgets, to the feminine, fun, and fanciful, with body lotions, beautiful pieces of artwork, and even trips to exotic locales. Local businesses were also a powerful contributor and supporter.

Tickets cost $20 per person (includes lunch and auction number); $10 for children ages 3-10, with children under 3 at no cost.

Kindly RSVP to Carolyn Koole by June 10, at (760) 728-4105, ext. 10 or [email protected]. FPRC is located at 113 E Hawthorne Street.
