5th Annual Holiday Luncheon and Silent Auction

December 7th 

This event will be held at Epping Forest.  Our Holiday Luncheon is always a crowd pleaser and helps to support our Philanthropic partner, PACE Center for Girls.  Since non-profit organizations have taken a hard hit the past couple years, this event is very important in providing very much needed donations to the school.   There will once again be jewelry, ornaments, self-portraits and silent auction items available.  Please mark this date on your calendar now and invite everyone you know to come.

PACE Field Day

Friday, Aug. 6th found some of our CREW members helping the PACE staff with their Field Day for the students. Not only did our volunteers get to help judge some of the hot competitions such as water balloon toss, tug of war and the ever popular egg on spoon in the mouth foot race, but we had two grillers extraordinaire (Pam and Lindsey) who cooked up the hot dogs and hamburgers to perfection. We also helped set up and serve lunch to the hungry participants. Thanks to our CREW volunteers and to Leigh Gunn (Group 4 Design) and Linda Hill (Fidelity National Title Group) for financial contributions to the event.
