PAST EVENTS
Our Thanks to All Those Who Made Our Third Annual Circle of Friends Gathering At Canoe Restaurant Such A Success!
Co-hosted by Deborah Schwartz Griffin and
George McKerrow, co-founder and CEO of Ted's Montana Grill and co-founder/partner Canoe Restaurant
I’m Deborah Schwartz Griffin, Bettie Brand Board Member, Fundraising and Events Chair. My generous friend, sustaining Donor and Sponsor of BBMEF George McKerrow and I hosted the 3rd Annual Circle of Friends Gathering at Canoe. In our quest to help more women, we invited our friends to invite their friends to this event to learn more about our mission and to share fellowship over food and drink. BBMEF will have another Circle of Friends in the Fall.
Hosting a Circle of Friends can be an intimate discussion at your home or something larger. The Bettie Brand board and staff are happy to assist with planning and can attend to provide a short presentation about how we help women in need. We can also invite one of our inspiring Spirit Award winners to share their story and how the award changed their life.
You can view more about this Circle of Friends Gatherings with the buttons below, or more about our previous gatherings here. If you are interested in hosting a gathering, contact Deborah Schwartz Griffin at deborah@creativeconnectorcollective.com or our Associate Director, David Haag, at info@bettiebrand.org or 404-405-2105.
