Deck the Halls with Christmas CHEER!

This year we are trying out a bunch of new fundraising ideas!  We will be hosting a weekend long Holiday Celebration for CHEER the first weekend in December (Dec. 2nd & 3rd, 2011).  Friday night enjoy the sounds of the Back Bay Strummers and the Milford Community Band as they play all of our favorite Christmas songs - sure to get you in the spirit of the season.  Catchers will be providing heavy appetizers, mix and mingle with Miss Delaware, Marie Cahill, and bid on some amazing silent auction items!  Tickets are $20 per person - cash bar.  For more information or to purchase tickets in advance, contact Dave at 302-856-5187.

Join us again on Saturday as we try out our very first Craft & Gift Bazaar.  Get your picture with Santa & Mrs. Claus, enjoy the sounds of local entertainers and try out some delicious treats provided by CHEERs own Nutrition program.  Crafters from around the county as well as gift vendors such as Pampered Chef and Tupperware will be here making sure you cross off everyone on your holiday shopping list.  There will even be a Santas Workshop and Baked Goods area where you can find some unique items at great prices!

Vendor tables are still available at $25 for the first, $10 for each additional - limit 3 tables per vendor. 

Happy Hour -The Island Way!

It's been a quiet few weekends here at the Community Center.  We have stayed busy during the week with a few events for the Seniors - "Ask the Physical Therapist" with Joe from Tidewater and "Accessible Gardening" with the Sussex County Master Gardeners.  Both were great events with very good turn out and we will be holding both again in the coming months. 

So, to fill in a little space here this week, CHEER has a big fundraising event coming up on Wednesday, September 28th from 4pm-7pm at the Community Center in Georgetown.  Tickets are being sold at $25 per person.  We are also selling sponsorship "Birthday Candles" at $500.  Our goal is to raise $20,000 for the CHEER Foundation in order to continue offering the best services possible to the 50+ community of Sussex County.  For more information please contact Dave, his information is listed below on the ad, or stop by the CCC and see me, Stacy, to purchase your tickets!

Classic International Car Show

On Saturday, June 18th CHEER hosted our first Classic International Car Show at the Community Center.  The weather was gorgeous, the cars were amazing and the brunch was delicious.  Overall, this was the perfect day to look at cars while supporting a great cause.  All of the proceeds from this event are designated to help our Nutrition Department with their Meals on Wheels Program.  Last year CHEER served over 200,000 meals to seniors in need in Sussex County.  This year our goal is to exceed that number, and we hope to make that dream a reality with the funds raised from the Car Show.
