Garden Party Fundraiser

The Fuquay-Varina Woman’s Club Public Issues Department was excited to host a Garden Party Fundraiser for Military Missions in Action. The Garden Party was on Saturday, April 17 at the Proctor-Gardner Home in downtown Fuquay-Varina. The event brought in $1,422.00 through ticket sales, gift basket auction and donations that day.

Everyone enjoyed the beautiful yard at the Proctor-Gardner Home, which Marilyn Gardner, a committee member, graciously allowed us to use for this event. Fish ponds, beautiful azaleas, iris and other flowers in bloom, made the perfect setting.

As appetizers were served, door prizes were given out, including Military Missions t-shirts, water bottles, flags, quilted hangings, a Zaxby’s gift card and a Chocolate Bean gift card.

A Gift Basket Auction was held. The donated baskets included an Italian Basket with Daniel’s gift card donated by Fran Senter Baggs and Bobbie Asad, two lap quilts donated by Military Missions, a Coffee/Donut/Chocolate Gift Card Basket donated by Chris Amspacher, a Chocolate Basket donated by Jean Seabrooke, a Domestic Diva Basket including pampering items donated by Teresa Ennis and Jane Phillips, a Garden Basket prepared by Garden Hut and donated by Bobbie Asad, an Italian Dinner Basket donated by Nancy Randolph, a ‘Better at the Beach’ basket donated by Emily Cox and a ‘Your Day Your Way’ basket donated by the Fuquay Magnolias with an ‘A Night to Remember’ 3 hour chauffeur service donated by Meridian Town Car.

Military Missions provides a much needed service to veterans that have serious injuries resulting in disabilities. Some of their services include home modifications to enable independent living for disabled veterans on their return from service, such as repairs of safety hazards, wheelchair modifications, access ramps, adjusting countertop heights and widening of doorways, plus numerous household improvements.

Public issues Committee that helped with event are Jean Seabrooke, Marilyn Gardner, Nancy Randolph, Jane Phillips, Fran Senter-Baggs, Emily Cox along with co-chairs Bobbie Asad and Teresa Ennis.

House of Hope trip

The Woman's Club Home Life Dept took their annual trip to the House of Hope in Clayton for an afternoon of fun, food and fellowship with the girls there. We presented them with a check for $200.00 in addition to several members making personal monetary donations, food, toiletries and games. Dominoes donated the pizzas and we received gift cards from Food Lion and Kroger. The House of Hope councils girls and their parents and operates on donations, it accepts no government money. Families pay a small fee, about one percent of their salary. The house gets calls from families all over the country needing help. A second house is now under construction. They hope to eventually accommodate 31 girls.
