Afternoon Tea 2024

August 14, 2024

Please help us celebrate the young ladies of the Boys & Girls Club of Oshkosh.

This summer, girls ages 7-10 are participating in a special empowerment program taught by Club staff and partners from throughout the community. The Character & Empowerment program encourages them to be proud of the unique people they are and helps them develop positive character and leadership skills.  

Afternoon Tea is your opportunity to meet Club members, encourage them, celebrate with them and hear firsthand the difference the Club makes in their lives. Women from the community will gather together on Tuesday, July 18th from 12-2 p.m. at the Gibson Social Club to sip tea and punch, enjoy a light lunch and congratulate Club girl members on their completion of the empowerment program. Ladies are welcome to wear brightly colored suits and dresses and bring their hats and gloves!

A short program will feature inspiring words from a lead speaker, Allison Garner.

She specializes in executive coaching, leadership development, and business consulting. Her work includes launching startups, navigating turnarounds, overcoming dysfunction within teams, and more.
