Phiendish Phantom Phoul Play!

Happy almost Spring, all. I've been getting questions about postponed events, so I thought it best to send out a general reminder.

For those who don't know, the phantom has derailed our March phestivities, and so we've rescheduled accordingly.

Our new Phantom Phundraiser dates are:
  • Saturday, October 12 at 6pm — Masked Gondola Dinner Cruise in Long Beach
  • Sunday, October 27 at 1pm — Brimming Baskets partea to put together auction & drawing baskets 
  • Sunday, November 10 at 1pm — Phantom MusicaliTea in Fullerton
(Thus, nothing is happening March 2 or 10)

Looking forward to seeing you at these events & more. 

And all who attend our May 18 Victorian Secret Society tea and kept their Phantom reservations on the books will get first dibs on our dreamy August 17 theme tea when we announce it. Cheers!
