This November, the Orinda Juniors came together to create our annual fundraising project. We assembled beautiful gift bags filled with Hibiscus Ginger Lemon and Hot Toddy drink mixes which can be enjoyed as a cocktail or a mocktail. The bags make great gifts for co-workers, friends and family.
We had a fantastic time at our October meeting, where we welcomed prospective new members and shared our passion for community service.
