2 Huge Events Coming!

The Y-Guides office is bustling with new registrations and orientations, expanding to Durham, Johnston County, and Goldsboro, and 2 more Rockmont Fall Outings. I'm sure these things do not pertain to most of you, so I'm here to give you the heads up on 2 big events that are coming up...

1.Burrito Bash

"TLC and Haw River Assembly are teaming up with The General Store Café for a Burrito Bash!
Join us Tuesday, September 9, 2008 at the General Store Café (39 West St, Pittsboro) for music, dancing, a silent auction, and of course, burritos!

Special musical guest Trilogy will groove with trio and solo work, jazz and folk, originals and standards in a performance that is multi-faceted and musically compelling. Trilogy combines the talents of three award-winning singer-songwriters: Sheila Warner, Brooksie Edwards and Richard Edwards.

The silent auction includes tickets for cultural and sporting events, fine art, gift certificates to local restaurants, and much more. Check back in late August to see a complete list of items included in the Burrito Bash silent auction!

Tickets, including a famous burrito, are $12 in advance/$15 at the door/kids under 12 - free. Tickets may be purchased through the link on this page, or by calling 919-833-3662 ext. 116.

If you are interested in volunteering at the event, please contact Marisa Bryant at mbryant@tlc-nc.org or 919-833-3662 ext. 111."
