Next month members of the Los Altos Auxiliary will be busy creating festive floral centerpieces perfect for your holiday table. Each centerpiece is hand designed from the freshest seasonal flowers. All proceeds from the sales of the centerpieces will benefit the boys, ages 6 – 18, who reside at the Hathaway-Sycamores’ residential treatment facility in Altadena. Susan Peterman and Betty Stanfill, co-chairs of the centerpiece committee, agree “Our popular Thanksgiving centerpieces are a beautiful way to support the children served by Hathaway-Sycamores. They also make wonderful hostess gifts!”

The fall inspired centerpieces come in a chinoise lacquer finish container filled with seasonal flowers that may include roses, pincushion flowers, sunflowers and a pumpkin. Arrangements are $75 each and orders must be received by November 9th for delivery November 21st to homes in La Cañada, Altadena, La Crescenta, Pasadena, South Pasadena, San Marino, Glendale, Sunland and Tujunga. Orders outside the delivery area can be picked up at the Hathaway-Sycamores’ headquarters in Pasadena on November 22nd or 23rd. Quantities are limited and orders will be honored on a first come, first served basis.
