Subject: Fabulous Food & Fun – Online & at Briar Chapel

Hi All,
 
I saw the post on Friday from Chatham County Together about their March 11 Tapas and Tunes. I can’t wait for the event and I’ve already bought several raffle tickets. I like the new twist this year that raffle tickets can be bought online and you don’t have to attend the event to win the prizes.

Check out the web site: www.chathamcountytogether.org for more info and to buy raffle tickets and event tickets.
 
The raffle prizes are fabulous restaurant gift certificates:
  1st Prize: A package from Fearrington worth $675
  2nd Prize: 10 home dinners for two from Foster’s
  More Prizes: 10 More gift certificates from $75 to $200.
 
Knowing that all of the proceeds help the youth of Chatham County is very important to me. 
 
Food at Sunday’s event is from Jujube, Angelina’s Kitchen, Crook’s Corner, Carolina Brewery, and more.. There are also great door prizes and a silent auction. Last year I bought a beautiful pottery pitcher. This year I have my eye on the dinner from the Carolina Club. I had a incredible meal there a few years ago but, since I’m not a member, bidding on a gift certificate like this is my only way to get back.
 
Well, I don’t want to give away all of my bidding strategies. So, buy your raffle tickets now and, if you want some great food and a shot at door prizes and auction items, I’ll see you next Sunday at Briar Chapel!
