thomhiatt — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 22:49:02 +0000

Most of the proceeds from Wine & Roses benefit our friends at Camp Oliver, a non-profit children’s camp located in Descanso, CA. The more funds that we collect as a result of our efforts producing Wine & Roses, the more money we can donate to the kids.

In addition to ticket sales, we also welcome the participation of our friends in the corporate community. If your business or organization would like to learn more about becoming a Wine & Roses Sponsor or Partner, please contact our Sponsor Relations Representative, Helen Allison at sponsors@wineandroses.net

Thank you for your consideration!

Camp Oliver Needs Your Help

tbcadmin — Sun, 15 Apr 2012 05:14:40 +0000

Camp Oliver has just released their 2012 Wish List and are looking for people who can help. What day to day expenses can you support? Do you have business contacts in the building trades or suppliers for referral or donations particularly for building improvement?

Commitment is needed from each of you. Camp Oliver, operated by the Sisters of Social Service, is the reason the Social Service Auxiliary exists. You can be an underwriter, cash donor or contributor of goods or services, and it all goes to Camp Oliver and the children.
