LA Street Food Fest!

Next weekend the LA STREET FOOD FEST is here!

Our friend Sonja is putting it on and it sounds like it is going to be amazing!

Get ready to EAT YOUR HEART OUT! Celebrate and discover LA’s mouth watering street food scene with an annual outdoor festival that promises to be a delicious good time…

Apron fundraiser!

Our friend Shirlee is doing a really important fundraising event. She needs our help!

"Last month my grandmother died and as a family we are doing a scholarship fundraiser in her name. This is where the group comes in- we're doing an apron fundraiser! We need as many people as possible to donate decorated aprons that are going to be sold for the fund.

i would love to have the groups help with this and anyone else that would like to donate to the cause, all aprons will be sold and the money to a veterans auxiliary scholarship in my grammies name."

Sounds fun!

Aprons can be decorated in any way and this is a great way to get rid of that old apron, sitting in your cabinet. Aprons need to be collected by the end of October. Contact Shirlee at brmflyr1 (at) yahoo.com
