For just a mere $25 donation per person, you will be able to sample delicious foods from more than twenty five of our local favorite restaurants. This local favorite fundraiser offers great food, entertainment and company.
For more information and tickets to this event, please contact: Ernestine Jenkins at (703-) 980-0892
Part of this event will include the judging of our “Build –A –House” Contest. Individuals, families, or teams of up to five people can purchase a kit (donation of $25) and build a house of craft sticks. The kit contains 250 craft sticks, a foam core board (10” x 15”) and a container of glue. The building will be judged on structural integrity, creativity and neatness.
There will also be fan favorites and honorable mentions. The houses will be the centerpieces of each of the tables. Barbara Reese of BR Associates, the contest sponsor, said this is a wonderful family project.
“We hope that this project will bring families together to do something fun and also something that benefits the community.” To get your kit, call the Project Mend-A-House (PMAH) office at 703-792-7663. You can pick your kit up at the PMAH office.
