Foster & Adoptive Moms Honored On Mother's at One Luxury Hotel in Austin

    /24-7PressRelease/ - AUSTIN, TX, May 04, 2008 - This Mother's Day, The Renaissance Austin Hotel will host a special tribute to Foster and Adoptive Moms in the Austin and Central Texas area with a "Salute to Foster/Adoptive Moms," a complimentary Mother's Day brunch and program that honors moms who give the gift foster children want most: a family. May is a significant month for mothers nationally, serving as National Foster Care Month, and also a time that traditionally honors mothers across the country for the Mother's Day holiday.

The Renaissance Austin Hotel is hosting and funding this special event for the fifth consecutive year in partnership with the Adoption Coalition of Texas (ACT) and their annual project - Heart Gallery of Central Texas, and the Texas Department of Family & Protective Services (DFPS). This year's event brings a new perspective with a focus on the mother's personal needs for self rejuvenation and relaxation. The 12 moms who have been invited with their families will receive a gift bag of cosmetics, donated by Saks Fifth Avenue. This luxury Austin hotel will have a masseuse at the brunch to give neck and shoulder massages to these hardworking mothers and will also have a photographer available to offer a group portrait to each family. "We enjoy hosting this special event for a truly unique group of mothers. Their contributions make such a difference in a child's life and development so we think it is important to recognize their endless efforts," stated Rob Gillette, General Manager for Renaissance Austin Hotel.

The special moms and their families have reservations for their complimentary brunch at 11:00 am on Sunday, May 11, in the atrium area of the Renaissance Austin Hotel. Brunch will also be available in the Renaissance's Austin arboretum restaurant for the general public and their families to enjoy the holiday.
