LaPromesse Annual Luncheon
Date: September 17, 2014
New this year at the LaPromesse luncheon on September 17, at Giovanni's Restaurant in Rockford, was a ‘basket raffle’ of 11 different, grouped prizes such as ‘Never Cook Again’ with restaurant gift certificates, monthly pies for a year, housecleaning services and the like.
The annual event raises funds for the many service projects done by Catholic Women’s League each year.
