Fevered Pitch!

How do you put together a terrific event where everyone wins? Well first you have to start with a 105 year old agency; that would be Family Services, Inc. Then you add succulent food from 21 fabulous Winston-Salem area restaurants, and a lively Blues and Bluegrass band, which would be the Twin City Buskers.

Stir in games and raffle prizes anyone would want to win including a 47" LG brand 1080p LCD HDTV with 240 Hz processing with LG brand Blu-ray Disc Player for first prize, Apple iPad with Wi-Fi 16GB for second prize and The Flip Ultra camcorder for third prize!

Stir in a cash bar, Live auction with terrific packages to bid feverishly on such as a fabulous dinner at Milner's American Southern with Robert Moody, Winston-Salem Symphony Music Director! There are lots more packages like that as well.

The silent auction has a wide assortment of items you could even buy for your Mom or wife for upcoming Mother's Day (May 9th).

But nothing caps off an evening like watching the Kentucky Derby broadcast live on two giant screens! The room explodes during one of the most exciting minutes in the world of sports! No one can resist the temptation to scream!

And everyone wins because all proceeds go to the programs of Family Services, Inc. Whether it is the services provided to domestic violence and sexual assault victims, the counseling services provided to every age, the adoption services or the 499 3,4, and 5 year olds in the Head Start Program. Everyone wins, especially our community!

If you absolutely cannot come, please come by the office and get some raffle tickets for only $10 each! You can buy them at the office at 1200 S. Broad St. up until 1pm on Friday, April 30th and then at the event of course.

More tomorrow!
