The Christy Lee Experience: Beauty Unleashed

Jun 2, 2013 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.

Hilton Garden Inn Downtown 101 S Front Street, Albany, Georgia
The Hair Cafe presents “The Christy Lee Experience: Beauty Unleashed”! Christy Lee, the owner of The Hair Café, is hosting a beauty showcase celebrating 18+ years in the beauty industry! This event will be held at the Hilton Garden Inn Downtown 101 S Front Street, Albany, Georgia on Sunday, June 2nd, 2013 from 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. We would like to invite your company to become an official sponsor! The primary purpose of the event is to celebrate the life, the legend, and the legacy of Christy Lee and the Hair Café’s 1 year anniversary. A portion of the events proceeds will benefit the Liberty House, a non-profit organization that supports domestic violence victims and their families. Because this organization holds a special place in Christy’s heart, donations will assist with the continued aide, support and awareness of this issue in the community.

The Christy Lee Experience: Beauty Unleashed event will expose the community to the fabulous world of beauty, fashion, and entertainment while benefiting a great cause. However, this is not a typical beauty showcase that focuses on hair and makeup alone. The Christy Lee Experience will take its guests on a journey through the world of fashion exhibiting the industry’s hottest trends. During the showcase, The Hair Café will exhibit seven amazing vignettes in the following categories: Fantasy, Bridal, Business, Old Hollywood Glamour, High Fashion, Date Night, and Natural Beauty. Each vignette will feature model(s) showcasing Christy Lee’s greatest hair designs. The vignettes will certainly leave the beholder with something to talk about! Additionally, the event will include vendors, gift bags, hors’duerves, multiple bars, a live band, a DJ and much more.

We are excited to invite you to be a part of making our event a success by becoming a sponsor! We recognize that this could be advantageous for those seeking brand advertisement during our marketing campaign. Take advantage of being in front of an audience of 400+ attendees. If interested, you may participate in several of the following ways:

Father's Day Bash

Jun 15, 2013 12noon-6pm

Tom Brown Park
June is a great time of the year to have weddings, events, and gatherings. This year MNH Weddings & Designs, LLC (MNH) will be hosting a wonderful, yet distinctly different event; a Father's Day Bash on June 15, 2013 at TomBrownPark.

MNH understands that there is a day that has been set aside to honor Fathers each year; yet, not many special events are held in recognition of Father's Day. However, on June 15th, MNH is creating an opportunity for family, friends and those in the community to show fathers just how much they are appreciated!

This event will allow fathers to bond with their families and kids. There will be a host of outdoor activities such as: live music, bounce houses & face painting for the enjoyment of kids, vendors (mostly catering to men), and so much more.

Please visit our website www.MNHweddingsdesigns@gmail.com to learn more about MNH.

We are currently accepting vendor applications.

Panhandle Quarter Auctions for Charity

May 14, 2013 Doors open at 6:00 and auction starts at 7:00

Leon County Service Center, 1000 West Tharpe Street, Tallahassee, FL 32303
Every second Tuesday of the month, we meet to raise money for a different charity!

It's a cross between an auction, a networking event, a charity fundraiser, and a home party! Local direct sales vendors will be auctioning off new items for only 1-4 quarters per bid! You can win items retailing up to $100 for very little! It's a fun night so be prepared to get addicted; you'll want to come every month.

How It Works:

- Each item up for bid will be displayed for all guests to see.
- There will be a brief description, retail value and how many quarters
you will need to bid. Guests that want to play will give their bid
(quarters) and hold up their numbered paddle.
- When all bids are collected, the auctioneer will draw a numbered chip
from the container. If the number on your paddle matches the number on the chip drawn, you've won that item! If a matching numbered paddle is not held up, the auctioneer will draw again, until we have a winner.
- Once we have a winner all chips will be placed back in the container and go to the next item to be auctioned.

There will also be 50-50 raffles and door prizes at these events.

Complimentary refreshments to all vendors and their guests.

All proceeds from the Quarter Auction events will be donated to a pre-chosen local charity. This month's charity is the Tallahassee Chapter of the National Federation of the Blind.

Come join us for a fun filled night while raising money for a great organization!
