ANNUAL HOLIDAY SALE
The Annual Holiday sale is coming for the Girls. Time to check around your house for little things in great shape that you can donate. The date has not been set yet but they are now collecting donations. .
This event is always great fun for the boys and girls from Alameda Island Kids and Girls Inc. There is always a lot of effort and planning that goes into the event. Think about volunteering.

The Holiday sale is an annual special service that we provide for all of our families. The items that are collected are priced for the sale, with no items being more than $1.00. On the evening of the event the girls and boys come to Meyers Center on Santa Clara Ave, and spend up to $3.00 on up to 10 items. Once the boys and girls have completed their shopping they then go into the wrapping room. Volunteers are needed to assist the children in selecting and wrapping their purchases. If you can't come the night of the event there are many different opportunities for you to support the Holiday Sale. Items need to be priced, the morning of the event wrappting paper needs to be cut in different sizes, the wrapping rooms need to be setup, and the gifts separated into shopping categories.
If you are interested in more information about volunteer opportunities please contact Barbara Krummel at bkrummel@girlsincislandcity.org or 510 521-1743 #207.

O Spa was a fine Club event in a wonderful venue with generous O Spa staff, including owner Lori Olson who was available to discuss spa sservices and healthy skin care products. We had about 30 guests including City Council member Marie Gilmore & Julie's Coffee & Tea Garden owner Julie Baron, an entrepreneur who recently was honored by Girls Inc's Women Who Dare. Lots of new people came as friends or invitees of Club. There was great food and drink, a must at Club events. Great gift drawings with spa products and Spa services were generously contributed by O Spa. Karen, Christina and Dorie spoke about Girls Inc. and Club. A beautiful necklace gifted by local jewelry maker Linda Castellani netted an additional $100 donation. Comments included "we should have more events a such nice places as O Spa".
