The Langley Gogos are hosting their third annual garden party and tour of the grounds of historic Michaud House (5202 – 204 St., by Portage Park).
On Saturday, Aug. 8 from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. there will be live entertainment, a garden art gallery, a healthy gardening display, a book sale and tea. Michaud House caretaker Sandra Reames has been baking up a storm and for only $6, you can try one of her world famous scones with a cup of tea. This is your opportunity to support the Steven Lewis Foundation. In addition, the Langley Gogos will be on hand with their signature Gogo bags, heritage jams and jellies, and homemade soaps for sale as well.
The Langley Gogos are a group of local grandmothers dedicated to raising awareness and funds for the Stephen Lewis Foundation.
Gogo, in the Zulu language, is a respectful word for grandmother. This group of dynamic older women raise funds through various activities throughout the year.
The Stephen Lewis Foundation helps grandmothers in Africa whose families have been devastated by HIV/AIDS. All proceeds go to the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign, helping African grandmothers or Gogos raise their orphaned grandchildren.
Last year’s event was a great success with more than 100 people enjoying the day.
To attend the event or find out more about the Langley Gogos, call Carole Albertson at 604-534-6152.
