JiH event tomorrow- Saturday, May 21!


Okay, tomorrow is a fundraiser for JiH but I don't want all you non-Triangle, NC people (or people who can't attend) to tune out because there is a way you too can help! *

Tomorrow from 11AM - 8PM Skipper's, 1001 East Williams Street, Apex, NC 27502 voted one of the Triangle's Top 25 restaurants, has generously donated all profits for the ENTIRE day to Joy in Hope.

$8 buys your choice of either:
Fish Plate (with slaw, hushpuppies, and beverage)
OR
Two Fish Tacos (with rice and beverage)

In addition, there will be several items raffled off-- jewelry, t-shirts, sports tickets, amphitheater tickets, restaurant gift certificates, store gift certificates, and even a brand new Ipad 2. (16G wifi/3G/with smart cover) Tickets are $1 each, 7 for $5, or 15 for $10. (Winner does not need to be present to win.)

Live music throughout the day-- 2:30-1:30pm, 2:00-3:00pm, and 5:30-7:30pm.

Desserts, Haitian jewelry, art, and my favorite people in the world will be there too-- well crap, now I just got super homesick! :(

*So if you non-local people are still with me-- JiH is parterning with the community in a cool way through this fundraiser. Anyone can donate online to purchase tickets for the fundraiser and those plates will be given to local emergency responders-- police, fire, EMS. Since I can't be there, I ordered 2 plates online to be donated. It's really a win/win. JiH gets support and we get to give back to the people in the community who are always there supporting us. To donate online towards this, go to http://www.joyinhope.org/donate.asp and choose "Annual Fish Fry."

One final disclaimer-- Not a fish person? No worries-- desserts, music, art... lots to do. And for the record, I am NOT a fish person BUT, I LOVE Skipper's fish. It is super delicious and not at all "fishy." Not lying.

Thanks for hanging in there with me for this quick post that has gotten WAY too long!

Later taters.

And, oh, PLEASE share this info for us too!
