Thanks to everyone who purchased raffle tickets for the Children’s House annual “Eat for a Week” fundraiser.  Preschool student, Clara, drew the winning ticket May 10th, making Elsie Pamuk the winner of 10 meals for two – valued at more than $500.  We fell short of our $5,000 goal, but still topped last year’s sales of $3,000. Children’s House could not have done this without the generosity of those who donated meals: Café Olga, Deer Harbor Inn, Lower Tavern, Mias, Mijitas, New Leaf Café (Outlook Inn), Portofinos, Rosario, Sazio and The Kitchen. These restaurants give so graciously to our community in many ways, but their support of early childhood education is especially noteworthy.

It is our tradition to host the winner at a tea party at the Children’s House farmhouse. The preschoolers are looking forward to making tea cakes, cucumber sandwiches and tea for their special guest!
