The Bonsall Woman’s Club invites one and all to its annual Christmas Luncheon to be held at the Golf Club of California from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 10. The theme of this year’s event is The Wonder of Christmas. The luncheon and entertainment promises to offer yet another exceptional way to bring in the holiday season.
This is the Bonsall Woman’s Club primary fundraiser of the year. All proceeds will benefit local charities and scholarships for local high school graduates.
The entrance will be lined with decorated three foot high Christmas trees and themed baskets. The themed baskets include: Have Fun with Art, Wine & Chocolate, Gardening, Disney, Reading and more. There will also be a money tree.
You will be able to purchase tickets at the event to win one of these trees or baskets. Simply place your ticket(s) in the container by your favorite item, and keep your fingers crossed.
There will also be a silent auction (designer jewelry, certificates to local restaurants, hand-made quilt, Beatrix Potter basket, framed lithographs, Keurig Espresso machine and a couple of creative succulent gardens). You must be present to win.
The tables are individually decorated by one of the Woman’s Club members using their own crystal and china. The custom-designed centerpiece at each table will present an initial attraction as you enter the main ballroom. Each centerpiece will be available for sale at the conclusion of the Luncheon.
In the hallway will be items for sale such as crocheted hats and scarves, aprons, embroidered tea towels in the shape of little dresses, hand-made tree ornaments, microwave bowl holders, hand decorated vases, walker totes, and jewelry. Most of these items are one-of-a-kind and make special gifts for the holiday season.
