On May 25, 2024 at the beautiful El Camino Country Club, Ask Mama G hosted her sold-out annual Mother’s Day Tea during Memorial Day weekend. The table was set with beautiful mothers and daughters from San Diego County in support of the Rory Graham Jr. Foundation. The tea setting decor was designed by Linda Maynor.
Chef Mr. Don prepared a charming menu that was delicious. This year’s entertainment was performed by Mr. J Boykin, the saxophonist. His performance was phenomenal. Mama G’s Mother’s Day Tea Auction would like to thank Mr. Terence Webster, a realtor, for his generous sponsorship of our event. Mrs. Vanessa Webster was the speaker and spoke on the significance and history of tea in our daily lives.
Mayor Esther Sanchez of Oceanside, CA attended the event and read a poem dedicated to mothers.
Special recognition to the planning committee, Juanlta Collins, Amy Coe, Linda Maynor, and Sonja Robinson.
Colleen Barrett, an attendee of this year’s fundraiser tea, stated, “Whoever packaged the baskets for the silent auction is an artist. They were so well put together and displayed beautifully.”
The purpose of our event is to raise funds for the Rory Graham Jr. Educational Scholarship for African American young men to attend the Army Navy Academy at Carlsbad, CA. All contributions for this scholarship can be sent to, P.O. BOX 4306 Oceanside, CA 92052, or contact [email protected]. The Rory Graham Jr. Foundation is a nonprofit organization, 501c3.
