Mother's Day Special Breakfast

We are coming into the month of March and I was just thinking that we will be advertising and opening the Mother's Day Breakfast to the general public soon.
If you are planning on having your family join you here at the Casa on the morning of May 9th when the Women's Conference will be ending, I encourage you to get your reservations in now before we sell out.
We did the Sunday Brunches last summer and we sold out on a few of the dates. Since this is only one day for the special Mother's Day Breakfast, we will more than likely sell out so be sure to take advantage of this time before it gets announced to the general community.
Our chef, Elias Zamore and all the kitchen staff do an excellent and delicious breakfast. It can be a nice time to share the morning with your family and celebrate Mother's Day together. Go online to the Women's Conference page for all the details.
You can avoid the crowded restaurants and the long waits and be with those you love right here at the Casa.

The Concert Kicking Off the Women's Conference

If you haven't heard "Wings of My Own" by Lew Bakey, go to You Tube right now and check it out. Amazing.
So much feeling and depth to this recording by Lew. I will write more tomorrow but I was talking with Renee Morgan Brooks yesterday and she mentioned that Lew is working on the music for the conference. That is so exciting.
Our very own music for "A Gathering of Women." Ok, go check out Lew's music. I just know you will love it.

Exhibit Tables available for the 2010 Women's Conference

The time seems to be moving quickly but there is still time to reserve your exhibit table at the 2010 Women's Conference, "A Gathering of Women."
Last year we were able to have the exhibit tables outside but because we are into the month of May and it can be a little toasty, we will have the exhibit tables indoors in the Owen Room. Space, of course is limited. Please try to reserve early so as not to be disappointed if we are sold out.
Call me at 480-948-7460, ext. 155 or send an email to bonnie@thecasa.org. Use "Exhibit tables" in your subject line which will help me respond to you.
It is really shaping up to be another great conference. Can't wait to see you all there.

Valentine's Gift Certificate

On January 31, Sunday after all the morning Masses, we will have a table out in hospitality with Casa Gift Certificates for the Women's Conference 2010.
We will even gift wrap it for you.
What a lovely way to tell someone how special and loved they are!

This gift certificate is great for Moms, Wives, Daughters, Sisters, Aunties and even BFF's.....
I'll be at the table on Sunday and will look forward to seeing you.

Just Added...Another Surprise!

Ladies, this Women's Conference 2010 is filled with opportunities to gather in this unique spiritual place and experience ways in which prayer, peace and harmony can become a part of your life.
Next week we are meeting with Renee Morgan Brooks and Lew Bakey to talk about the concert on May 7, Friday. I will have more details after next week. If you love music, you should come. If you are not familiar with Renee or Lew, you are in for a delightful evening.

One of my most favorite sayings hangs in a frame over my desk in my office. I think it is my favorite because when I was in grade school, (taught by the IBVM Sisters in Chicago) I remember being told that "singing is praying twice." I have always remembered that and when I saw this one saying, I knew it was meant for me...."God Respects Me When I Work....But He Loves Me When I Sing."
Oh, HE must really love Renee and Lew! I can't wait for the Friday night concert!

Now the newest tidbit of information is that Jan D'Atri who is a well-known restaurateur and cookbook author, newspaper columnist and long time Arizona television and radio personality, will be a part of the "Gathering of Women".

How blessed can we be?

After the dinner on Saturday, Jan and her mom, Livia will conduct a cooking demonstration right here at the Casa!! Mmmm. What a great weekend to look forward to in this Spring!!
Please call and register today. We are limited on space and I just know you won't want to miss this great weekend.

Moms, Sisters, Daughters, Wives, and BFF's....

Valentine's Day is soon approaching and if you need to drop a HINT about something you would like to get on V Day....how about dropping a hint for the 2010 Women's Conference?

Or maybe you are looking to get something for YOUR Mom or Sister or BFF?? What a wonderful weekend to give to someone that you love!

If you need more details, please call Wendy at 480-948-7460, ext. 157.
I just thought I'd share this with you because I'm always looking to give something special to my sisters and my best friends and I just love this idea of giving them something different and that I know they would enjoy.
It's less than 4 months away.
Bye for now. Bonnie

Exhibit Tables at the Women's Conference 2010

As we approach the beginning of the new year, 2010, plans are coming together for the Women's Conference, "A Gathering of Women".

We will once again, EAT PLAY PRAY together. I am so looking forward to seeing you all again. Please check the lobby for more information as we will be displaying the fliers and posters fairly soon.

If you are interested in an exhibit table, please contact me about a space. The exhibits will be indoors for this conference and as it will be May, it means the temperatures will be on the rise.
Since the exhibits will be indoors, space is definitely limited. Reserve your space early.
At least get your name on the list so you won't miss out. Last year, we had wonderful exhibits and we look forward to another successful year.
