"An Evening with Friends"
Choose any date in February and host a dinner party, a cocktail party, a poker game, a bocce tournament, a chili cook off . . . anything to gather likeminded friends together in support of Big Bend Cares.
The agency will provide the invitations, which will explain that rather than meet in a restaurant and pay a check for dinner, your guests will be asked to write a check to Big Bend Cares instead. After your event, Big Bend Cares will send out thank you notes that will include applicable tax information.
All hosts and guests are invited to join the agency at Chez Pierre Feb. 24 for a dessert reception as a gesture of appreciation.
Check out www.bigbendcares.org for information on local restaurants that will be sharing their proceeds with Big Bend Cares throughout the month.

Grammy nominee gives benefit concert
