A Note From Becky
First of all I just want to say that I am so excited to get our new website going! Here you can catch up on what is happening around the bakery and neighborhood, print a menu, get a map so you can come see us or simply peruse the pictures for ideas for your next event.
Things we are working on in the Bakery:
Bountiful Bakery and Cafe and the Loving Libbie Memorial Foundation work together with Child Life at Dell Children's Hospital on many projects throughout the year.
What is a Child Life Specialist you ask?
(taken from their website http://www.childlife.org/ )
Child life specialists are trained professionals with expertise in helping children and their families overcome life’s most challenging events. Armed with a strong background in child development and family systems, child life specialists promote effective coping through play, preparation, education, and self-expression activities. They provide emotional support for families, and encourage optimum development of children facing a broad range of challenging experiences, particularly those related to healthcare and hospitalization. Because they understand that a child’s well being depends on the support of the family, child life specialists provide information, support and guidance to parents, siblings, and other family members. They also play a vital role in educating caregivers, administrators, and the general public about the needs of children under stress.
So...at the end of May, Child Life, along with co sponsors Dell Children's Hospital, Garrett's KidStrong, Jennifer Wilkes Foundation, Starlight Starbright Foundation, Kelly's Team, American Cancer Society, Bountiful Bakery and Cafe and the Loving Libbie Memorial Foundation will host a Prom for adolescent patients who are unable to attend their school prom for various reasons associated with their treatments.
A prom dress party was held several weeks ago where the girls (and their moms) got to pick out special dresses sponsored by Cabela's and individuals throughout the community.
At the prom, the kids are treated to a fantastically prepared party. This year the theme is "Cirque Font de Mer". Party planning help is generously provided by Premiere Event Source that includes a professional DJ, circus style entertainers on unicycles and stilts, a magician, and a face painter. There will also be food and treats from the co sponsors and photographs of the kids to remember the special event. We hope that it is as great a success as in previous years and are honored to be a part of it all!
Keep checking back here for updates on the progress and opening of our new 2nd location at the Shops at the Galleria located at 13011 Shops Pkwy at the intersection of 620 and 71 in Bee Cave. We will be able to offer a lot of the services people have been asking for here in Westlake but we don't have the space for.
Thank you everyone for all of your support...
Hope to see you soon!...Becky
