A
Table Setting & Design Event
June 6th & 7th, 2008
The
Rotunda at Hayward
City Hall
The Chabot College Foundation is proud to announce
the dates for our fourth Annual “A
Blooming Affaire, Tour of Tables and Design”,
a fundraiser to
support nursing, interior design and fine arts
education in the East Bay.
Scheduled for June 6th
and 7th, the event organizers are delighted to present a weekend of
spectacular colors, fabrics, flowers and table top designs reflecting the
theme of the American South.
We are pleased to feature honored guest speakers
Gary Wright, John Williams and Susan Soares of
Southern Living at
HOME and
Southern Living
Magazine.
Southern Living
at
HOME was founded in
2001 as a response to customers asking where to find the items and designs
found in Southern Living Magazine
(established in the 1960s). Their mission is to create a feeling of welcome,
comfort, and beauty in homes all across
America
as well as celebrating style and empowering lives. Guests will be treated to
a presentation on Southern influenced designs as well as tips on
entertaining, decorating and organizing in the home and garden.
We are particularly proud to announce the recipient
of the
Gladiator Award,
Alameda
County Supervisor Gail Steele. This
tradition recognizes individuals who have a connection with Chabot
College
and have also had a dynamic impact on the surrounding communities. Ms.
Steele has been an exemplary supporter of
Chabot
College
and the Hayward
community and we are excited to honor her at this venue.
A Blooming Affaire”
is being planned by community members who share
a passion for interior design and who believe in the value of community
college education.
The key members of our organizing group, led by
Chair Tamara Papazian, are well connected and the event promises to be a
first class, fun-filled occasion.
No doubt our fundraising efforts are timely
given the short supply of healthcare
professionals and the continuous need to
provide financial support to our students.
This exciting June event will be
held at one of the most popular venues in our region, the Rotunda in the
City of Hayward’s
City Hall.
This glass enclosed facility will create a
beautiful sunset for the Friday evening cocktail gathering and a sparkling
and sun-filled room for the Saturday luncheon event. Both gatherings will
include champagne receptions, a silent auction, a tour of beautifully
designed tables, guest speakers, design presentations, wonderful food
offerings, table gift giveaways and more.
Our
Host Sponsor, The Stuart Rental Company, has again committed its
resources to ensure our costs are under control and the event has the
necessary backdrop to ensure success.
We plan to entertain over 400 guests at the
two-day event.
Come
and join us in what is anticipated to be a fund and elegant affair!
Seat
Reservations: $60 for the Two-Day Event;
$30 for Friday Evening Reception
***Saturday-only ticket option not
available***
Our event would be a great opportunity to grow
relationships and gain the attention of community members interested in
design and philanthropy.
There are opportunities for hands-on
participation if interested.
We hope that you
will join us or consider participating in
our event as a Sponsor or Table Design Captain.
