Foundation Hosts Friends Luncheon on September 25, 2006
Please join The Community Foundation of Western North Carolina in celebrating another year of promoting philanthropy and building mountain communities at their annual Friends Luncheon.
This year they are focusing on homegrown philanthropic efforts that are enhancing and preserving our way of life.
In the past year, CFWNC has distributed more than $7 million in charitable grants across our 18-county mountain region and beyond.
Come to the Renaissance Asheville Hotel at noon to hear about some of the most promising projects and innovative ideas that promote and preserve mountain culture, encourage economic development and markets one mountain community as “The Home of the Perfect Christmas Tree.”
They will be serving a special “homegrown” lunch made from food grown by local farmers.
The cost is $25 per person and $45 per patron. Tables of 8 are available.
Reservations will be accepted until September 20, 2006.
To register, contact Beth Semadeni or call (828) 254-4960.
