GIVING BACK -- that is part of using the gifts that we were given. It is kind of like sticking that really nice piece of jewelry in the bottom of the closet if we don't use those gifts....
Part of the work we do here at the studio comes from sessions that are donated at various charity auctions on our community. This weekend we have partnered with MANNY'S CATERING and made a contribution to CHILDHELP. Manny has contributed a full course gourmet dinner for ten with selected wine pairings to be prepared in the comfort of the winning bidder's home.
One of our clients Hugh Nystrom, is now the director of program operations for Childhelp Tennessee. CHILDHELP Tennessee is a regional branch of the national nonprofit organization dedicated to the prevention and treatment of child abuse and neglect. Childhelp really is dear to my heart being an adopted child. I am soooo lucky to have the family that I have. And I could have never asked for anything more!! I was adopted as an infant-- 9 months old. But for those first 9 months I was in foster care.- foster care is one of the services that CHILDHELP provides.
This weekend-- well friday CHILDHELP is hosting ‘Les Trois Chefs’. Bistro by the Tracks, Flemings Steak House, Cherokee Country Club and VG’s Bakery are coming together for the September 21 event to create an exquisite four-course meal expected to attract 200 supporters at this year’s new location, Cherokee Country Club.
If you don't have tickets to this "EVENT OF THE SEASON" Childhelp still needs you.

Have a great Day Lynn
