| American Girl Fashion Show & Tea |  |
The American Girl Fashion Show is a fun-filled event featuring historical and contemporary clothes and dolls from the American Girl collection. These are modeled by children and grandchildren of our members. It's a wonderful occasion to celebrate with your daughters and grandchildren and their friends. The shows are presented in November each year so check back in the fall for ticket information. | Sarah Beetem sgbeetem@yahoo.com |
| Cookbook Marketing & Sales |
 |
Tastes, Tales and Traditions, a classic and unique cookbook created and published by our volunteer members. For more than 70 years the Auxiliary ran a successful restaurant at the Allied Arts Guild and the Cookbook celebrates that legacy with favorite recipes that span a timeless collection. All profits derived from the sale of this book are donated to the Lucile Packard Children's Hospital. | Luisa Pliska luisapliska@comcast.net |
| Restaurants with Heart |
 |
This is the inaugural year for PAA's new fund raising event, Restaurants with Heart, to benefit Lucile Packard Children's Hospital. Half the dinner proceeds will be donated to LPCH. If you enjoy dining out and trying restaurants new to you, or are a member of a group of friends who enjoy dining out together, please consider Restaurants with Heart dinner nights. There are no speeches or appeals for money. It is just a night out for the benefit of children. Restaurants with Heart features a different Peninsula restaurant each month for two nights. Two PAA members will serve as hostessses each evening to greet diners. | Marlene Bollhoffer 650-591-0637 |
| Tote bags for LPCH patients |  |
This team of volunteers makes gift Tote Bags that are given to patients of LPCH. This team has been making Tote Bags for many years and gives about 100 each December. Dallas uses mostly donated fabric and usually assembles kits for the bags and distributes them to members for sewing. | Dallas Manning lmanning@stanford.edu |
| Sew cough pillows & knit blankets for LPCH patients |  |
Thora with the help of Suzanne Hnilo and a team of volunteers meets in homes the first Tuesday of every month to sew cough pillows and knit blankets for young patients of the LPCH. Thora, a past President of the Auxiliary, started this project June 2009. In 2009 66 blankets and quilts were donated. Cough pillows are used by the CVICU and the allergy department. Here's a photo of Thora gifting pillows and blankets | Another photo gifting pillows to LPCH. | Thora Richardson thora@rcgc.com |
| "Build a Bear" and Book Workshop |  |
Shirlee began this project in 2007. A team of volunteers builds bears and other animals to donate to children receiving care at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital during the Christmas holidays. In 2009 a total of 112 bears and 26 books were delivered to LPCH in mid-December.
