Desert Foundation Auxiliary Announces 26 Debutantes for 2020 at Annual Mother-Daughter Tea via Zoom
On June 10, the Desert Foundation Auxiliary (DFA) held its annual Mother-Daughter Tea in a virtual format for the first time in its 55-year history. The traditional tea is typically held in a member’s home, but due to COVID-19 restrictions and safety, the event took place via Zoom.
During the meeting, DFA president Colleen Katz welcomed the 26 Desert Debutantes and their mothers. The presentation included the history of DFA, which was founded in 1965, along with the many traditions the organization still adheres to today.
Before the event each debutante was sent a personalized basket filled with gifts along with a long-stemmed white rose with the DFA traditional turquoise ribbon for their mothers.
At this time, the Desert Foundation Auxiliary plans to host the 55th Annual Desert Ball on Tues., Dec. 22 at The Phoenician Resort. Proceeds from the Ball will benefit Saving Amy.
