Jingle Bell Ball

Thank you to everyone who was able to participate in the 2009 Jingle Bell Ball.  It looks like we will be able to donate $16,740.00 to the United Family Services’ Shelter for Battered Women.

Would you like to be a part of the 2010 volunteer group that hosts this event?  Send us an e-mail and we will send you more information — info@jinglebellball.com

Dear Volunteers,

Thanks to you and your efforts, we had a very successful Jingle Bell Ball last Friday!  Aside from a few typical glitches, it ran very smoothly and a good time was had by all. Everyone was very complimentary of our return to Grand Central and of our efforts to make the event a success.  Now for the question you all have on your minds…   “How much did we make to donate to the Shelter?”  It is still early, but it looks good and we hope to have a total for you before Christmas.  We sold nearly every item in the silent auction, which is a very good sign! 

Just click the Photo’s link to the left to see the pictures from Creative Loafing. Mike will be posting more picture too.

 

Again, thanks to each of you, and especially to Brandi and the staff of United Family Services for the hard work and support to make the Ball a success!  Remember, it is not just about having fun, but about helping those who are going through an extremely difficult time in their lives. 

God Bless each of you and Merry Christmas!

A special thank you goes out to Lynn Johnson, the Double Door Inn and the Underground Detour band!  Without them, we would not have been able to raise over $1,000.00 for the Shelter for Battered Women.  The food was great and all who were able to make it had a good time.  Portia BellamyChairperson
