Twenty percent of all boutique sales go to the Wellness Community and 100 percent of the sales from the knitting group's contributions will fund free programs of support, education and hope for people fighting cancer and for their friends and families

The holiday boutique is free of charge and open to all.

Shoppers can purchase Holiday Homes Tour tickets on site for $25, visit four Conejo Valley homes decorated for the season, and return to Willow Elementary for more purchases. Breakfast and lunch will be available from
