Brunch A Big Success

tom — Wed, 12 May 2010 00:02:23 +0000

In spite of the less than stellar economy, over one hundred people joined us again this year at the Manor to show their support for the Arts program. By purchasing art, enjoying the brunch, and having fun with the silent auction, the eighth annual Arts Brunch brought in enough funds to cover the art program for another year. The residents truly enjoy the opportunity to participate in creative art classes each week.

With the wonderful community participation, the Foundation at the Manor can continue to provide for the resident of Neshaminy Manor for another year.

Neshaminy Manor is located at 1660 Easton Road, Warrington PA 18976.

Another Fabulous Mardi Gras Party

It was another fun and fabulous Mardi Gras event this year for the benefit of Gardens at the Manor. Held at the VE German Club, Davisville Road, Warminster, PA on Sunday 3/28/10, everyone had a great time and enjoyed the fabulous New Orleans cuisine served up by the VE club staff. With wine and beer included, as well as a cash bar, there was plenty of lubrication to go around.

Thanks again to the band Zydeco-A-Go-Go for providing the music and fabulous entertainment, once again including the washboard contest.

Despite the fragile economy, the generosity of those in attendance as well as those who sent in their donations made this another very successful fundraiser. Thank you all so much - your thoughtfulness helps bring the Gardens project that much closer to reality.

Mardi Gras Time!!
