Aronos Club Hosts Tea and Fashion Show April 6th
Infinite Possibilities to Bloom and Grow is the theme for the annual Aronos Research Club’s spring tea. New this year is a fashion show in conjunction with Sonora School of Sewing & Apparel Construction. The event is held on Sunday, April 6 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Aronos Clubhouse located at 37 Elkin Street in downtown Sonora.
Tickets are $25 per person and can be ordered through email at aronosresearchclub @gmail.com. Proceeds from the tea benefit the Aronos Research Club scholarship program for Columbia College students. Information on the tea is available by emailing event chair Joyce Drush at ccr9951@gmail.com.
Aronos Research Club teas have long been a popular event in our community.
Sonora School of Sewing & Apparel Construction was founded in 2011 with the mission of engaging students in the practice of traditional bespoke tailoring, apparel and sewn product construction.
Megan Houseberg, Instructor and Director of Sonora School of Sewing, said, “We honor the art and tradition of sewing excellence, craftsmanship, fashion and design, creating meaningful pathways engaging our community in academic and entrepreneurial success.”
“In addition to the fashion show, the tea will include music, prizes and the Just Tappin’ With Bonnett dance troupe,” Drush said. “We hope to see everyone at our fabulous spring tea. Tickets are limited so get your tickets today!”
The tap dancing, choreographed by Bonnett Saussol with performances by her and her dancers, has been a popular tradition at the teas.
Education has been an emphasis of the Aronos Research Club since its founding 110 years ago. The Aronos Research Club has offered scholarships to Columbia College students since the campus was open.
The Aronos Research Club was established in 1915 and purchased the clubhouse in 1936. The members provide a variety of community services including providing a monthly speakers series at the clubhouse, creating homemade Valentine’s Day Cards for homebound residents, and hosting Coffee With A Cop. New this year is a weekly Mystery Walk held in conjunction with the Blue Zones Project.
Membership is open to men and women and is affiliated with the California Federation of Women’s Clubs and the General Federation of Women’s Clubs.
The historic Aronos Clubhouse, first built in 1902 as a church, is available for rent. Enquiries can be made to Shelly Stewart at (209) 770-1144 or by emailing aronosresearchclub @gmail.com.
