Club Fundraiser: Preview Night at the Southern Christmas Show

Calling All Juniors!

We are happy to continue our partnership with Southern Shows to host Preview Night of the Southern Christmas Show this coming November 2009. We are fortunate because of the reason you joined the Charlotte Junior Woman's Club in the first place: to make a difference in our community and in the lives of those in need. This fundraising effort is vital to the success of our Club, and the Club is vital to the organizations we support! As our dear Club President Allison Yezek professes, let us "Share Hope through Service."

In our agreement with Southern Shows, we are responsible for selling Preview Night tickets, soliciting corporate sponsorships, providing food/beverage/entertainment and staffing the event. In exchange for our contributions, we receive a portion of all Preview Night ticket sales. With your hard work, we can make this great event even more successful and profitable for our Club and our Charlotte community!
