We Are Seigle Family

It’s almost time to pull out that cocktail dress or fancy suit! Noble’s Restaurant hosts the 6th Annual "We Are Seigle Family" event Thursday, April 3rd from 7-10 p.m.
The net proceeds are split evenly between Jacob's Ladder, Seigle Avenue Preschool Cooperative and Seigle Avenue Partners. Annually, our three organizations provide exemplary education, support services and workforce development to more than 700 children and adults ages 2-82.

The evening festivities boast cuisine from the celebrated Chef Jim Noble, live entertainment by the jazz band The Brubakers as well as a performance by the Seigle Avenue Partners After School Choir.

"Many families depend on these agencies, and your support, to help them overcome the desperate poverty that plagues Charlotte’s inner city neighborhoods," says Shep and Woodie Robinson, Event Chairs. "Please join us at 'We Are Seigle Family' 2008 so we can reach our financial goal of $115,000 and support our neighbors-in-need."

Planning committee members include Jill and Smitty Flynn, Jana Foreman, Sue and Peter Gorman, Deidre and Clay Grubb, Beth and David Johnston, Marilyn and Sam Huffman, Mary Lane and Tom Lennon, Amy and Rob Lovett, Elizabeth and Charles Myers, Jan and Ray Swetenburg, Kristy and Bill Thompson, Scottie and Danny Trap, Robbie and Joe Whisnant, Court and Andy Young, Amy and Julian Wright.
