B&B Holiday Tour in St Augustine to benefit Empty Stocking Fund
The 14th annual Holiday Tour is scheduled for Saturday, December 8, and Sunday, December 9, and has become a highlight of St. Augustine’s “Nights of Lights†celebration. Half of the 26 B&Bs will be open Saturday, and half on Sunday, from 2 to 5 p.m. each day. Food and trolley transportation are to be included once again.
The Empty Stocking Fund will be the beneficiary of the 2007 Holiday Tour of bed and breakfast inns, St. Augustine Historic Inns (SAHI) announced today. Now in its 22nd year, the Empty Stocking Fund assists deserving and needy area families during holiday season.
In 2006, the Empty Stocking Fund assisted more than 400 families and elderly residents. “The Empty Stocking Fund is an ideal partner for our Holiday Tour,†said Jack Martin, SAHI President. “The Fund makes the holidays more enjoyable for those in need. That’s long been a primary objective of our Holiday Tour. And, it certainly is in keeping with our innkeepers’ desire to make the holiday season more enjoyable for the entire community. We cannot imagine a better fit.†The 26-member association of B&Bs hopes the 2007 Holiday Tour will raise at least $15,000 for the Empty Stocking Fund, added Martin, who along with his wife, Mia, owns Cedar House Inn Victorian Bed & Breakfast.

Music Alive is Inspiring Kids with Classical Music – Savannah, Georgia

In an interesting article on Connect Savannah, Conyers says: “When we grew up in Savannah, there were roll models who made music their full-time gig.
