Dear NAACP Members and Supporters:
Thank you for a WONDERFUL Fundraiser! Many people made donations in addition to purchasing their ticket. We were fortunate to have not one fantastic band, but TWO outstanding groups of musicians. I was simply awestruck when our Matt Flumerfelt started riffing with the other band, an improvisational tour de force!
It was a lovely evening, and I hope everyone had as wonderful a time as I did, socializing and networking and enjoying the great food and great music! I especially want to thank Blanche McIntyre for hostessing this event at Fruits of the Garden and educating us on how to hold a Wine Tasting Fundraiser, all the members of our Executive Committee who worked so hard to prepare the food, Matt Flumerfelt's band Dante's Inferno, and Matt who donated his musical talents last night, Bobbi Hancock who kept the cash box and Amy Terrell who networked with Two Friends Cafe to provide the cheese biscuits. If you visit Two Friends, be sure to compliment the owner, Brenda Anderson, and thank her for her donation to the NAACP. If you enjoyed the wings, be sure to visit Miss Vee's Diner and tell her!
Two groups made an investment in travel time to attend our Fundraiser: the National Association of Minority Truckers brought 3 officers and took out a membership in OUR branch! They were leaving this morning to head up to Huntsville, Alabama, to meet with black elected officials and the Huntsville NAACP. It was great to introduce them to Mayor Vickers and Dr. Angela Manning. The second group that supported us was Uplift, Inc, a non--profit shelter in Morven, GA, who brought 4 people and took out a membership in our branch. The director, Tyrone Tyrell, is a former activist with the Dekalb NAACP branch, so we look forward to working with him and his organization!
Thank you so much for all your support and friendship through this event. You all made it beautiful and successful!
May God Bless you all, always.
Leigh
