another Living Room Concert!

great big THANK YOU to Carole Garrett who hosted a Living Room Concert last night in Duck and to all who joined us.  Carole won the concert at a silent auction in Feb this year at the annual Paws for Love Benefit helping our fury 4 legged friends at Feline Hope.    Thank you to all who donate their time and funds to Feline Hope.  The organization has made great strides over the last 10 years in decreasing the stray cat population in the Outer Banks, finding homes for many cats and caring for medical issues of many strays.  Keep up the great work Lita, Lisa & team!

I still have openings for Living Room Concerts - email or call me if you're interested!
