A Show of Hands
Written By: Jenny King | Issue: 2018/11 - November
It’s time to make your plans for the annual Christmas Day Dinner, sponsored by the Highlands Area Non-Profit Donation Sharing, HANDS. They start taking reservations November 12 for this spirit-filled, must-do event so popular with residents and visitors to the Plateau, so don’t wait.
HANDS has sponsored this event since 2001 and has been able to gift over $225,000 to this community thanks to the generosity of donors and attendees, alike. The 501(c)(3) organization was founded by, and continues to be run by, a dedicated group of community volunteers to keep the spirit of giving alive.
Once again, Highlands Country Club is opening its doors for this dinner, and you can expect traditional holiday foods like turkey, ham, tenderloin, side dishes, and a delectable assortment of desserts. This year they’re even adding shrimp and grits! All of the food is prepared by professional chefs and served bycommunity volunteers.
Many of the volunteers have made this a Christmas tradition and look forward to it all year.
According to organizer Laura Huerta, “We simply couldn’t do it without the enormous efforts by the volunteers. They are the ones who keep everythingrunning smoothly.”
All proceeds go to HANDS and are then distributed to non-profits in our area. Cost is $50 for adults and, $15 for children.
The holidays are a time to make priceless memories and to give generously. Attending the Christmas Day Dinner is the ideal way to do both.
Laura is the person to contact for reservations, to volunteer, and to offer contributions. She may be reached at (828) 526-9419. Seating for the Christmas Day Dinner is by reservation only, so don’t wait until the last minute to save your place at the table.
