SOUP FOR LITTLE SMILES – Sat Dec 7 from 3pm to 6pm, Native Son's Hall, 56 Main Street, Sutter Creek. Sutter Creek Smiles is a group of women who raise money to help Sutter Creek Elementary children with urgent and emergency dental care. The students we serve are those that "fall through the cracks" - those who don't have dental insurance and also do not qualify for state aid.
This soup dinner fundraiser is being offered because recently three children have come to our attention who are in need of more substantial repair and is beyond the capacity of our current fund balance.

We have timed this Smiles Soup Dinner Fundraiser to give you an easy, festive and warm meal after your holiday shopping and just before joining in with Sutter Creek's traditional Las Posadas Parade. SMILES, SOUP AND LAS POSADAS -- a great way to begin your Holiday Season!

Your participation can help change the life of a child forever. Cost: Pre Sale Tickets of only $5.00 Tickets available at:
Coldwell Banker | 54 Main Street | Sutter Creek 

www.SutterCreekSmiles.org  ($1 surcharge per ticket for online orders)

Or mail your donation of $5 per person to: SUTTER CREEK SMILES | P.O. Box 1344 | Sutter Creek, CA 95685. Include your name, address, and phone number, and your ticket/receipt will be mailed to you.

For more information email: Info@SutterCreekSmiles.org. Thank you for helping to keep healthy smiles on our Sutter Creek children!


HOLIDAY BAZAAR – Sat Nov 30 & Sun Dec 1 at the Italian Picnic Grounds. This exciting event, in lieu of the Jackson Rancheria Hayrides, will offer plenty of holiday cheer with a craft fair including: handmade gifts and treats, carolers, complimentary cocoa, cookies and crafts for the kids.
