The MDA Mother’s Day House & Garden Tour celebrated its 25th consecutive annual tour in May 2019. Despite the threat of torrential rain, the tour was a resounding success with record-setting sales and donations. Each year the tour committee gives 25 percent of the proceeds to local non-profit organizations that provide services to the immediate area. Representatives from each of seven local organizations were present at the MDA Annual Meeting in November to share information about the specific services they provide to residents in need in our area. Each of the following received a check in the amount of $500:
Albert Hill Middle School PTA
Belmont Library
Humphrey Calder Recreation Center
Health Brigade
Prevent-A-Litter (PAL of Carytown)
TeeJay Viking Fund(Thomas Jefferson High School)
Tree Stewards of Richmond
An additional $1,500 will be awarded in the spring to selected graduating seniors at Thomas Jefferson High School.
