Sisters Place, a supportive housing community committed to assisting single parent families who are homeless in Southwestern Pennsylvania, is honoring local women on May 10, 2014, at its Seventh Annual 'Hats Off to Mom' Mother's Day Luncheon.

The award program will be accompanied by a vast basket raffle, door prizes and an exceptional jewelry sale. The luncheon will be held at The Georgetown Centre located at 526 East Bruceton Road in Pleasant Hills on Saturday, May 10 from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m.

"Hats Off to Mom is a friend-raiser for Sisters Place as well as a fundraiser," said Sister Mary Parks, executive director for Sisters Place. "Every year local women attend wearing the most beautiful hats, and we gather together to celebrate the good that takes place in our community – and the amazing women that make it happen."

This event began as a collaboration between Sisters Place and local churches in Clairton and has grown to include the support of the entire Mon Valley area and beyond. Volunteer committee members from many area churches and social groups assist with planning the event.

This year we will be honoring Adele McLean, Cynthia Moore, Margaret Popko, and a surprise resident from Sisters Place. Please join us in recognizing all of their accomplishments.

Local businesses and organizations have gathered together to support the event, including: Precision Copy Products; Sisters of Mercy of the Americas; Brennan Robins & Daley, P.C.; Brentwood Bank; Eagle Home Inspections; Eastman Chemical Company; Knights of Columbus – West Jefferson Hills Council 11887; and Salon Eye Candy.

Raffle baskets are donated by the committee, members of the boards at Sisters Place and other community members and businesses. There will be a basket for every theme – including, gardening, cooking, cleaning, entertaining, coffee, soup, groceries, and much more – over 40 in all!

Reservation must be made in advance before May 2 by contacting 412-233-3903. The seats are $25 each or a table of ten for $250. For additional details, please visit www.sistersplace.org.
