TALL Mother’s Day Celebration
We gathered with our members and friends to celebrate Mother’s Day at the beautifully decorated Bel Air Ridge Club House on a bright and sunny California spring day. As board members welcomed guests, familiar faces enjoyed reconnecting while others met for the first time, creating a warm and lively atmosphere. Everyone was treated to a delicious spread of homemade Turkish dishes, along with coffee, tea, and soft drinks.
Once guests settled at their tables, our featured speaker — Executive and Leadership Coach Durdane Sarıtaş Uzan — was introduced by President Jasmin Doker. Her presentation, “Return to Yourself,” invited mothers to pause, reconnect, and restore balance behind the many roles they carry. The session was interactive, heartfelt, and engaging, with guests participating at every step. We extend our sincere appreciation to Durdane Sarıtaş Uzan for sharing her expertise, time, and meaningful guidance. A special thank‑you goes to Elif Cercel for her support in securing this beautiful venue and assisting with every stage of preparation. This Mother’s Day celebration also carried a purpose. All proceeds were donated to Siirt Merkez 75. Yıl İlkokulu, helping provide school supplies, physical education materials, clothing, and other essentials for students. As friends departed, many expressed how happy they were to be part of this meaningful afternoon. Each guest received a self‑care gift as a small reminder to continue nurturing themselves. We are grateful to every guest who joined us and supported our mission. We look forward to welcoming you at our next TALL event.
