Monrovia Guild of Childrens Hospital Los Angeles will present their 11th Annual Fall Luncheon on Sunday, October 18. The theme for the major fund-raiser this year is “Picture This…” They are expecting more than 200 guests at Arcadia Community Center. All of the luncheon tables will be artfully decorated by Guild members to reflect this theme.
The luncheon will be prepared by Guild members and served by local high school volunteers. You will enjoy a fashion show by Magnolia in Arcadia, modeled by members. Another highlight of the event is a beautiful boutique by the Greenhouse in Pasadena, which also supports Childrens Hospital. The raffle is another way for guests to enjoy the afternoon. Co-chairs for the event this year are Diana Knight and Jean Horne.
This annual luncheon is the Guild’s pride and joy, with all proceeds going to their project at Childrens Hospital – the Clinical Imaging Research and Technology Program. Included in this project is their support for the purchase of a state-of-the-art MRI scanner for the new hospital due to open in 2010.
The Monrovia Guild was organized on November 11, 1948 and are proud to celebrate 61 years of service. The Guild is comprised of more than 80 active and associate members whose only goal is to support Childrens Hospital Los Angeles. Throughout the year, they work to support C.H.L.A. by providing monthly treats for hospital staff; host an annual December toy and book drive, and each May host a “baby shower” to provide new clothing for the tiniest patients.
Members of Monrovia Guild thank the community for its generous support so that we can continue their work. Childrens Hospital Los Angeles has provided the hope of good health and happiness to children and their families since its founding in 1901.
