The Teddy Bear Tea Party hosted by The Bay House restaurant in Naples was a lot of fun and a huge success for Barbara’s Friends -- raising over $47,000! Musical entertainment was beautifully sung by Party of 8, a group from the Sweet Adeline’s International, the Seacrest Country Day School high school chorus, and Mrs. Julie, music therapist from The Children’s Hospital. Mrs. Claus arrived and read one of her favorite holiday stories to everyone. There were tea sandwiches and plenty of sweet goodies to share at each table. Plus, a cute children’s fashion show was produced by Barbara Roy Productions and fashions were provided by Lu Lu Belle’s and Beth Mone Children’s shops, both in Naples. It was a wonderful day of fun for children and grown-ups. Some items have already been purchased for the clinic including 3 new medwagons ($425 each), stethoscopes, video games, a 6-line infusion pump (allows 6 meds to be given to a patient with just one pump - $6,000) and more. Thank you to all the volunteers who made it happen and to all the guests who came to have fun while supporting Barbara’s Friends. Thank you to The Bay House restaurant for your HUGE support of Barbara’s Friends!
