Saint Louise House “Mother & Me Tea”
POSTED BY elaine ON March 15, 2012
Here, at PR by the Book, we are very excited about a Mother’s Day themed event hosted by our favorite local nonprofit, Saint Louise House (You can see our CEO Marika Flatt talking about SLH for I Live Here, I Give Here).
Saint Louise House is an Austin-based non-profit whose mission is to help single-women-led households rebuild their lives and their children’s lives after being homeless. They are hosting the inaugural “Mother and Me Tea” to celebrate important women in all of our lives and to raise funds to continue helping homeless women create a brighter future for their families.
THE EVENT: Mother and Me Tea benefiting Saint Louise House
HONORARY CHAIRPERSON: Kristen Armstrong, local writer, speaker and mother of three
DATE & TIME: Sunday, May 6, 2012, from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm
LOCATION: The Allan House, 1104 San Antonio Street, Austin
ABOUT THE TEA:
The Mother and Me Tea will be a magical event to celebrate the important women in our lives – mothers, daughters, sisters, grandmothers, aunts and friends, while we also celebrate the more than 125 families that have called Saint Louise House home. The Tea will raise funds to support the organization’s expansion efforts to serve even more families in need. The event will feature a high tea, fashion show, children’s activities, silent auction and a chance for all in attendance to dress up in their tea party finery!
One of the reasons we’re behind this organization is that they help these single moms create a better life for themselves and their kids through counseling on everything from financial issues to relationship issues to helping them find a job or student loans to pursue a higher education.
A program alumna who had once lived in the cab of an abandoned 18-wheeler recently closed on her very first home. As she noted, “Saint Louise House helped me learn how to function after so many hard times. They gave me a chance to start over in a more successful life.”
