Yall this is a hard post.. One of our bartenders, Tracy Lynn lost her daughter in law last night. Most of you know Tracy. She has helped everyone in this community over the years and has never asked for help. Tracy is raising her grandbabies who just want to be able to say their goodbyes and give their momma a proper barriel. With that said, we are putting together a last minute benefit this Saturday March 14th at noon to sell BBQ plates to help raise money. Any and all donations are appreciated. Let’s show up for this family y’all!
CWC ABATE encourages everyone to participate in the activities of our fellow ABATE Chapters.
ABATE CWC members had a good time at East Cooper ABATE Oyster Roast! Our Coordinator Julz, our State Coordinator Debra, and Midlands Area Coordinator Neecie and other members enjoyed it.
