The 2009 Harmony & High Tea benefit was a rousing success. Because of the generosity of our donors, advertisers, sponsors, and event attendees, we raised more than $15,000 for our scholarship funds and the charities we support. Thanks to everyone who participated and helped to make our event such a grand success.

Fund Raising |
At each monthly meeting, we have a charitable focus wherein members bring in items targeted to a specific cause or charity.
The February 4th focus is small items (such as CDs, toiletries, cosmetics, journals, Matchbox cars) for children between 10 and 20 years of age for the Echo Glen "birthday closet."
Each year we also hold a major fund-raiser in November at the historic Pickering Barn. This year’s event will again be our very popular benefit called
Harmony & High Tea, to be held on Saturday, November 13, 2010, at 1 p.m. It will feature an elegant high tea,
musical entertainment, and a silent auction. All proceeds from the event go to the scholarships and local charities to whom we have pledged our support, including:
| • The Eastside Domestic Violence Program IWF Educational & Vocational Enhancement (EVE) Scholarship Fund |
| • Issaquah Valley Seniors |
| • “Follow Your Dream” scholarships to Issaquah School District high school senior girls |
| • Eastside Baby Corner |
