What a great turn out in 2008.  We are still calculating all the donations for the shelter so please check back.  In the mean time, why don’t you look at the pictures from the 2008 event?Hope to see you at THIS years’ event on December 11th, 2009!

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 

Yes, we are raising money to help defer the costs of the Jingle Bell Ball.  How can you help?  Why don’t you come and spend the afternoon with us?  There is a minimum $10 donation at the door.  There is a great band and heavy hors d’ oeuvres.  Click this link to find out more.  

Hi All,

 Myra had us fully staffed for the Blues, Brews and BBQ festival. We made over $400 in tips! Not bad for 3 shifts and the heat was not nearly as brutal as TOC! Thanks to Myra and all who helped out!

Portia Bellamy

Thank you for volunteering recently at uptown’s Taste of Charlotte.  The weather was brutally hot, so your generous help was so very much appreciated.

 

As you know the money we raise will help offset expenses of The Jingle Bell Ball whose proceeds benefit The Battered Women’s Shelter.  The more money we can raise throughout the year through events such as TOC allows us to donate more money to the shelter each year.

 

Thank you again!

From Portia to all the volunteers:

Hi ya’ll! You guys did a great job pulling all of this together AND managing to have it staffed in this awful heat.  I don’t know about you two, but I feel like I lost a few pounds of water weight over the weekend!  Thanks to those of you who worked the TOC over the weekend.  It was a scorcher, but your efforts are truly appreciated!

We have been going for the past 6 years and this is a fantastic event. I am going this year too. If you have been, let’s hear from you.
