Ivy Tea Rose, Incorporated is excited about 2012. We've reinstated our wonderful Community Service Awards program and began Afternoon of the Arts to showcase our wonderful, cultural participants. We have continued our work at Margaret Square mentoring girls in grades 3-5 by enhancing their academic and social skills while having fun.

The amount of funds being contributed increased in 2011. Others are encouraged to designate Ivy Tea Rose, Incorporated as their charity through the United Way. We thank the community members who not only designate Ivy Tea Rose, Incorporated, but also their support of our fundraising efforts.
