Let's do it again this year and come out to spend a special and fun evening at the Ritz Carlton and help homeless children at the same time!

Our fellow Atlanta Metro Singles member, Cliff Kinsey, heads up the Children's Restoration Network. This children's charity believes that education is the key to ending homelessness and provides a HeadSmart program, which includes scholarships, tutoring, mentoring and more for children in need.

There will be about 450 people attending, so it should be a great group! The night includes a 4-Course Haute Cuisine meal served with a Bottomless Glass of Wine , followed by Dancing to the fabulous band, GLOW , and then shopping among the hundreds of auction items ($90,000 worth!) at the Charity Auction , a sizzling hot dance demonstration by the professional group Daza Dance among other fun activities.

The list of Auction items goes on and on, from Trips, Artwork to Jewelry! If you can believe, our Atlanta Metro Singles tables purchased approximately $6,000 in auctions items last year...WOW! There will be a live and silent auction, you can also win auction credits or even champagne for your table, have your caricature drawn, be interviewed on the red carpet or win one of the other prizes to be given away!

Tickets are normally $150 each, but just for our Atlanta Metro Singles group, the Tickets will be $100 each as long as t http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/2/2/d/0/event_17288912.jpeg hey are available. No need to purchase tickets online, as the Childrens Restoration Network trusts us to come and pay at the door if we RSVP here (thanks for the faith Cliff!). Your name will be put on the list and you can pay by check, credit or cash at the door. They will also reserve Atlanta Metro Singles tables, so we can all enjoy the evening together!

The Ritz Carlton is offering a special room rate of $149 per night if you book before July 1 ! To take advantage of this special rate, contact the Ritz at 404-237-2700 and mention the "Celebrate the Children" Gala.
