Party like Elvis at Dr Nick's House!
We're done brunch, now join us for Happy Hour at the funky and fabulous home of Elvis' doctor, George Nichopoulos. With 60's themed hot canapés, cool cocktails and the "swamp soul" stirrings of Marcella Simien, it's sure to be a memorable way to spend an October afternoon. Let's eat, drink and dance together to celebrate the power of education to change the lives of women and girls in Rwanda.
Born and bred in South Louisiana, Marcella’s distinctive music is a dueling hybrid of classic Memphis soul and the freewheeling swagger of New Orleans funk woven together with the sighing laughter of her ancestors. "Marcella’s soulful voice smolders like a night star, fondly reminding us of a mysterious past while at once exciting us with the romance of an uncertain future.”
As in he past, all profits from this event will support the Hands of Mothers' Education Initiative. In 2024-2025, Hands of Mothers hopes to pay school fees and provide backpacks, uniforms, school supplies and age-appropriate sanitary products to 165 children from kindergarten through high school. Importantly, we hope to be able to send 68 at-risk teens - the children of sex workers - to the safety and nurturing environment of local boarding high schools. You are changing the lives of these children and we are deeply grateful!
A big thank you to our sponsors!
