More than three dozen Valentine Elementary School mothers and friends recently gathered at the home of Jonathan and Nancy Ko for a London-inspired ladies fundraiser. Jo Malone London candles, products and company representatives helped set the tone for this fragrant event. Traditional high tea prepared by MK Catering and Buttermilk House Catering, handcrafted beverages by mixologist Joey Rouhana, live guitar music by Brandt Jacobus and floral arrangements from Tea Rose Garden completed the afternoon, which was held just days before Mother’s Day. The event was hosted by Valentine parents Nancy Ko, Marisa Kelly and Claudia Boles and was one of several buy-in parties that accompanied last month’s Sweet Magnolia Nights Valentine Parent Party.
