On Saturday, May 18 the Equality Project in Cache Creek held a fundraiser. A Strawberry Tea was held in conjunction with a silent auction, and both activities were well received and well supported.

There were many items to view in the silent auction, and strawberry shortcake, complete with strawberries and whipped cream, was offered to the tea/coffee drinkers. There was a door prize with a free ticket included as part of the entrance fee, and consisted of a beautiful hanging basket donated by Desert Hills. The basket was won by Gertrude Rieck. In addition, we held a raffle for a handmade bird house donated by Ray Dupras, and this was won by Sue Collins.

There were many beautiful and useful items offered at the auction, and again we were fortunate to have Ducks Unlimited paintings. All items are now in the hands of the proud owners. The Cache Creek Equality Project received approximately $1,040 to put towards continuing to serve the community.

Thank you to all who attended and supported this event, as well as our sponsors who donated computer time, and many other items for the auction. We might make this tea an annual event!

“Team Strawberry Tea” included Sarah Wynter, Patti McKenzie, Mike Deer, Peter White, Gerry Nikkel, Joanne Kaul, Julia Dupras, Ray Dupras, Sue Falk, Jake Falk, Katherine Turmel, Jan Robinson, Laura Turner, Roxanne Stokes, Eleanor Bond, Briggy Schroeder, Suzanne Foster, and Glen Foster.
