Greensboro Junior Woman's Club Celebrate "Southern Hospitality" for Camp Carefree

"On Saturday, April 26, the Greensboro Junior Woman's Club will host its annual fundraiser. This year’s event invites you to celebrate "Southern Hospitality" and help raise money for Camp Carefree.

Since (Amy Collins Moore) turned 40 in January - this will be her last event and (she would) really love to have as much support as possible for Camp Carefree. The gala starts at 6:30 p.m. at the Jamesford Meadows Clubhouse and features silent and live auctions, dinner, drinks, music and dancing.

Emcees for the evening will Jeff Wicker and the crew from The Wicker Show on 98.7 Simon. Dress is snappy casual. Tickets may be purchased in advance for $30 each. We have some great items. I am attaching the flyer - it's a big file so hopefully Since 1986, Camp Carefree has provided a free, one-week camping experience for youngsters from North Carolina and neighboring states with specific health problems and disabilities.

The program also includes camps for well siblings of chronically ill or disabled children and a week for those with a disabled or a seriously ill parent. Additionally, Sickle Cell Anemia Camp and weekend retreats for Multiple Sclerosis Society, The Brain Injury Association, Hospice, Cub Scouts and many church youth groups are held here.

Other organizations rent the camp throughout the year for retreats, seminars, conferences and reunions. The Junior Woman’s Club wanted to focus its efforts this year on a local organization that touches the lives of many – Camp Carefree was a natural fit. Established more than 75 years ago, the GJWC provides women between the ages of 21-45 the opportunity to volunteer in and around Guilford County.

The club has started and maintained many educational, healthcare, conservation, and public affairs programs. You will see Junior volunteers at Crop Walk, the Women’s Only 5K Walk & Run and Operation Smile, to name a few. The Club has a partnership with The Women’s Hospital of Greensboro, in which we assist with a variety of projects - NICU Reunion and conducts two Super Sitter babysitting workshops each year.

To purchase a ticket - just let me know. OR if you are unable to attend, please consider making a donation or purchasing raffle tickets - they are 1 for $1 or 6 for $5 - it's for a split the pot. It's a great way to help out and you don't have to be present to win.

Please email or call (Amy Collins Moore) at 334-5889 (work) or 643-0098 (home) if you can help out. I hope I can count on your support. Hope you can come to the event - it would be fun to catch up with everyone!"
