WRS is honored to host a yearly Mother’s Day Boutique at Venetia Valley School, where students pick out special gifts for their moms.
2022 Mother's Day Boutique a wonderful success!
Four WRS volunteers and several volunteers from Venetia Valley set up tables of jewelry and scarves donated by WRS, as well as two wrapping stations.
Each student in Kindergarten and Transitional Kindergarten classes selected two gifts for their loved ones. These gifts were wrapped in a gift bag.The kids were so adorable and thoughtful in their choices, explaining why they had made their selections. It was an uplifting experience for all involved.
The school was able to use the remaining items as prizes for a Mother's Day program they were holding that weekend. Truly a rewarding way to share with our neighbor across the street.
What we’ve accomplished:
1.
Jewelry, handbags, and accessories-all in excellent condition, are gathered through donations by sisterhood members, our friends, and the extended community throughout the year.
2.
WRS hosts a fabulous jewelry sale, yearly or bi-yearly. This is an opportunity to buy gorgeous items that people loved, but no longer wear.
3.
The money earned from the jewelry sale is used by WRS to support important causes. Please see our Tikkun Olam Report Card under What We Do. Much of the nicest jewelry donated is saved for the Mother’s Day Boutique at Venetia Valley. This is truly a special day for both our members and the students!
The first year the Jewelry Sale and the Venetia Valley Mother’s Day Boutique was conceived and executed, WRS won the Gold Or Ami Award at the Women of Reform Judaism/Union of Reform Judaism Biennial Conference. This was a huge honor! Our program, Crossing the Street: Mother’s Day Surprise, continues to be a program of which we are extremely proud!
Be a part of the success!
