Girls with Goals Alliance is celebrating National Mentoring Month with its second OPPORTUNI-TEA awards and recognition luncheon to be held Saturday, January 26, 2013, 12:00 noon to 3:00 pm at  the Renaissance Portsmouth Hotel & Conference Center, Portsmouth, VA 23704.

Occasional Pearl Events will support Girls With Goals Alliance at the “Opportuni-Tea” by providing event decor!

We will “WOW” the guests with our Winter Wonderland event design concept! And of course, how can there be a “Tea” without Teapots! We’ve gathered a beautiful collection of vintage teapots to enhance guest tables for the fabulous event!
