Chicks For Charity of Southern Delaware, Dinner, Fundraising Event, “Help-Portrait”, Fish On!, Wednesday, 11/28, 6:30 p.m., Lewes, Delaware…Gentlemen, you are invited!

Meet Kari and Marci.  These are the two ladies who are at the helm of Chicks for Charity.  On its second year, Chicks for Charity is dedicated to assisting those less fortunate.

It was started by Kari and Marci on July of 2010.  Many of the charitable organizations that Chicks for Charity have helped, are essential community resource agencies that aid kids, families, the elderly, abandoned animals, and those that are undeserved and in need.

You can find Chicks for Charity Southern Delaware on Facebook.  You can also check their website, http://www.chicksforcharity.us.

Once a month an invite arrives to my email.  This month’s Chicks for Charity Dinner will be held, as usual, at Fish On!, located at the Villages of Five Points in Lewes, Delaware.  Time? 6:30 p.m.  Date? Wednesday, 11/28.

This dinner will benefit “Help-Portrait”.  This is a global movement of photographers using their time, gear and expertise to give back to those in need.  The idea behind Help-Portrait is simple:  First, find someone in need.  Secondly, take their portrait.  Third, print their portrait.  Fourth, deliver their portrait.  Help Portrait 2012 will take place worldwide on Saturday, December 8th, and locally in Georgetown, Delaware.  It is being organized by professional photographer, Keith Mosher and a group of more than 50 volunteers.  Website?  http://www.help-portrait.com.

Two delicious entrees to choose from along with appetizer and dessert.  $25.00 per person, includes gratuity.  Cash or checks only, please.  Payable to Fish On!  Cash bar available.

There will be great raffle items and a 50/50 too!   RSVP to gals4thegood@aol.com.  Please, no calls to the restaurant.

The dinners are delicious….you can meet new friends….you will be supporting a charitable organization serving the community.
