| |  | Mother's Day is the time-honored tradition of recognizing the women in our lives who raised us, dried our tears, and well, mothered us. Everyone has someone who is like a mother to them. On the second Sunday of May, we honor those women. Whether we shower them with gifts, take them to a fancy dinner, or make them a homemade card, what moms enjoy most is being surrounded by the love of their family. | | | |
"Here's the tea!"
Recap of Tea Party 2026
| | |
What a party! Once again, this year's tea party was one for the books! There was dancing, camaraderie, and laughter. The Cleft of the Rock community of friends, volunteers, and members showed up and showed out in their best 'Tiffany' styled ensemble.
Once again, we were able to raise awareness of our organization and its goals with the added bonus of lifting the spirits of everyone involved! Special thanks to the Tea Party Committee, who all worked tirelessly and made this occasion a fabulous success!
If you missed our Auction, plan to join us next year at our Kentucky Derby Tea Party, May 1st, 2027 - we look forward to seeing your hat!

Drawing on both developmental science and extensive clinical experience, Dr. Gold provides evidence that the exact opposite―a stance of not-knowing―helps us find our way into another person’s experience, offering the greatest opportunity for connection, growth, and healing.
Gold presents a model of “listening in” with an intentional suspension of expectations and a willingness to be surprised.

Cleft of the Rock is looking forward to even greater things. We have been able to accomplish a lot over a short period with the help of volunteers just like you! We are growing! Grow with us! Helping does not have to be complicated. Just use what you know how to do to help. That's called volunteering! We are always in need of new volunteers and would greatly appreciate your time in any way that you can contribute. If you have teenagers who need hours for school, any time they volunteer with us can count towards their goal...even virtually.
