There’s something for everyone at Applefest Varietals, a series of fund-raising events hosted by the Park Tudor Parents’ Association.  If you’re a fan of HGTV, CMT or the Food Network, we have you covered with three parties planned for this spring. Next fall, we’re hosting three more events for art enthusiasts, music lovers and a family event. 

Get ready to arrange a bouquet, enjoy barbecue, savor a Syrah, appreciate local artists, do the do-si-do and gather for a family event -- all while making a contribution to Park Tudor.

Help us raise much-needed funds for a new school shuttle, educational extras, teacher training and scholarships. We’re hoping every Park Tudor family will attend at least one of our Applefest Varietals events. We promise you’ll have a good time!

We expect our Applefest Varietals events to sell out, so return your RSVP card quickly if you want to reserve your tickets.  Gather your friends together and sign up now!  Register online at http://alumni.parktudor.org. Spring event registration deadline is April 21 and fall event registration deadline is September 1, 2008.
