Dear Palo
Alto Auxiliary Members,
Here it is
May already and one of the busiest months for many families. At school it was
always the big-push-to-finish-curriculum month and why-are-there-all-these-extra-activities
month rolled into one. For PAA it’s also a busy month. We’ve already attended a
meeting of Auxiliary Presidents, held a PAA Board Meeting and Tuesday the 20th
will be our May General Membership Meeting at Lucie Stern Center at 1 PM.
We hope to
see many of you on Tuesday at our General Meeting. We’ve invited a speaker from
the Child and Adolescent Psychology Clinic at LPCH; Grace Gengoux, PhD, will
tell us about her practice with Autistic children and their families. Please
come and bring a friend. We have invited sister auxiliary members; so if any
come, please help us make them feel welcome. To stir things up a bit, we’ll
serve lemonade and cookies and share the raffle rickets with everyone who
attends.
In June,
because we know that Lucie Stern Center is not available and because we are
still trying to enliven our meetings, we are planning a luncheon at a
restaurant in Palo Alto on Tuesday, June 17th. You can come for
lunch and the meeting or just for the meeting. Details for signing up and the
menu will follow shortly in an email.
Restaurants –with-Heart
has been extra busy this month. The California Pizza Kitchen fundraiser last
week appeared to be very well attended. Sarah and Nancy can vouch that lunch was delicious and that the pasta Sarah
took home for supper was very well received. The regular lunch and dinner event
at The Iron Gate in Belmont will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday, May 27 and
28th. Make your reservations now on our website or phoning the PAA
number or mailing to our post office box.
From our
sister auxiliaries come news of another Rummage Sale by Charter June 20-21. San
Mateo-Burlingame is sponsoring a Game Day on June 18th. Check the
LPCH website at www.supportlpch.org/association
for more details.
Did you know
that our members individually donated more than twice the $75,000 that PAA as a
group donated last year? Consider making
a direct donation to LPCH by sending it through our treasurer (and get two
thank you notes.) However you donate, in cash or in volunteer time, the
children of LPCH thank you.
See you on
Tuesday,
Sarah and
Nancy
