Yesterday
this team of creative, organized, and energetic women joined 7petals Design in
making small centerpieces for the Center for Domestic Peace Annual
Luncheon. This incredible organization, based in San Rafael, CA has spent 40
years helping survivors of domestic abuse with protection, housing, and
support. It takes a lot of courage and community support to break the cycle of abuse.
I have donated leftover flowers to CDP for a number of years and was delighted that the timing worked out to participate on 24 hour notice! The flower community responded to a call for help with great enthusiasm.
We used donated flowers from Cypress Farms and Whole Foods to make 40 something small centerpieces in 2 hours for 400 attendees that attended this fundraising luncheon. Fatima Hansia,my contact and pal at CDP told me that they never were able to make the donated flowers go around for all the tables. I told her that we were going to attempt a "loaves and fishes" miracle to make that happen; a success thanks to interesting foliage the team donated and a few composing techniques!
Women really know how to get the job done! Again, thanks to the Flower Jam Team. We will ride again!
