Hiddenite Center Thanks Community
for Supporting Back to School Salad Luncheon 
Hiddenite, NC – The Hiddenite Center held their annual “Back to School Salad Luncheon” on Tuesday, August 24, 2010. Thanks to the outpouring of community support, the luncheon was a tremendous success.

As always, the Back to School Salad Luncheon was a volunteer effort from beginning to end. The luncheon featured a buffet of delicious homemade salads and desserts donated by the many talented cooks in our community.  The Brushy Mountain Quilter’s Guild and Friends of the Hiddenite Center volunteered with invaluable help in the kitchen. Wildflowers Florist donated a gorgeous floral arrangement that was raffled during the event with all proceeds going to the Hiddenite Center. 

The Hiddenite Center especially wishes to thank the following elected officials and businesses who generously purchased Sponsor and Host level tables for the luncheon :

Hosts: Danny Dyson, Alexander County Clerk of Court's Office; Cindy Sellers, Thomas Insurance; Phil Icard, Peoples Drug Store.

Sponsors: Chris Bowman, Alexander County Sheriff’s Dept.; Ben Hines, Register of Deeds; Glenn Deal Jr., Thrivent Financial; Linda Graham, CVCC Alexander Center for Education; Rick French, County Manager; Tony Jones, Chief of Police. 

“We are so thankful for the generosity of all those who made our luncheon possible by giving of their time, talents, and resources,” said Karen Walker, Assistant Director. “Our goal at the Hiddenite Center is always to bring people together to experience art and culture and to preserve the diverse heritage of our region. The funds raised during our salad luncheon help us to continue the many programs and services that the Hiddenite Center offers throughout the year and we sincerely thank everyone who participated.”
