Party inspired Hat Tea. Share a lovely afternoon with the important women and girls in your life and help sow the seeds
of hope and health in our community.
The Hat Tea will include fun, garden themed activity stations for children and adults including hat decorating;

The Infant Welfare Society of Evanston is a 96-year-old nonprofit social service organization providing full-day care and
early education, early intervention services, and free parenting support and education to families living in Evanston and
the surrounding areas. By providing the earliest interventions to the families most in need, IWSE works to prevent child
abuse and neglect, and ensure that all of Evanston’s children enter kindergarten ready to learn and thrive.
Tickets to the event are $40 per person and $70 for an adult-child pair with pre-registration, or $45 per person and $80
per adult-child pair at the door. Named and reserved tables can be purchased for $500 for a table of 8. Online
registration is available at www.iwse.org. For more information call or e-mail Sarah Valle at (847) 491-9650 or
sarahvalle@iwse.org.
All proceeds from the event will help IWSE nurture the healthy growth and development of Evanston’s young children.
