Bonnes Meres luncheon benefits foster children

Erin Phillips, Kristin Bryan Pierce, Kristin Hopkins and Reanna Bullard

Bonnes Meres Auxiliary held its annual birthday luncheon at the Redlands Country Club on April 17 with over 250 guests attending, each bringing a gift.

It is the goal of this "birthday party" to ensure that every child in the San Bernardino County foster care system receives a gift on their birthday. 

Bonnes Meres, French for "Good Mothers", is a Redlands-based auxiliary who fundraises for Children's Fund.  In addition to raising funds for gifts, Bonnes Meres also accepted donations for the program that provieds quilts and blankets for the abused children taken to the Children's Fund Assessment Center.
