Would you or your company consider supporting an upcoming fund-raising event to be held at John Watlings- Buena Vista Estates, Saturday April 5th?
This is Lignum Vitae’s Major Fund-raising event.
Lignum Vitae is a registered charity in the Bahamas, their mission, ‘Empowering Women and Children to build a stronger community’. Their programs provide Bahamian youth with a safe, dynamic, educational environment and opportunities through the U.S. based 4H programming, activities and a cooperative agreement with The University of Florida. July 2014 will bring 12 4-H Youth to the Bahamas to lead a camp and demonstrate the potential of 4-H Youth.
In 2013, these were offered at the new Marina C. Glinton Centre in conjunction with the Bahamas Red Cross Society in Bain & Grant’s Town, as was their ‘Hands Up’ Sewing Program which gives single, unemployed mothers valuable skill-training as a basis for self-sufficiency. 2014, season 3 is taking place in conjunction with the Crisis Centre and LVCH have welcomed returning and new clients. Volunteers are welcomed as youth leaders and motivational and educational speakers.
The Board and the volunteers, led by Shelagh Pritchard, are dedicated to making their ‘Better is Possible’ slogan a reality every day and to help them in this endeavor, Sammy T, a Mick Jagger look-alike and his band Los Labios, perform songs from the Rock and Roll era, are donating their time and their talent to making this an enjoyable and memorable evening. MC for the evening is one and only Nathan Stone, and our event will be sure to wow an audience of all ages.
Tickets are $125 and include 4 hours of fantastic music, dancing, 2 John Watlings Mixed Drinks, Passed Appetizers and late Night Bites.
VIP seating will be offered on the verandah deck, socializing with the band available at $175.
