2008 Chocolate Festival
From 3:00-6:30PM on October 21st, 2008, we will host the 2008 Women's Health and Wellness Chocolate Festival to raise awareness about women's health issues and to raise funds for the Free Clinic of the New River Valley. Our local free clinic is committed to providing quality healthcare, dental care, an on-site pharmacy and mental health referral services to adults who lack insurance and cannot afford to be treated. Approximately 60% of their patients are women. Attendees at the Festival will enjoy a resource fair, silent auction, music, fun, and of course, lots of yummy chocolate treats!
A Sweet Way to Make a Difference!
