Downtown Hampton Child Development Center

DONOR RECEPTION
November 10, 2009

The lovely home of Jimmy and Midge Eason was the setting this year for our annual Donor Reception, where we thank some of our most special supporters. The event theme was gold letter blocks because, as the cover of the invitation stated, "Children are the foundation for our future. You are the building blocks." About 50 guests were thanked with warm words, light foods and a variety of beverages. Hampton Chevrolet Mazda graciously sponsored the reception.

The consummate hosts, Midge and Jimmy Eason opened their home to DHCDC supporters.	DHCDC Board Member Ann Tormey, along with husband Jim, served beverages to guests. Board Member Cheryl Ziff served for the second half of the evening.

DHCDC Board President Mary Wallace speaks with Board Member Tiffany Franklin, while Hampton City Council Member George Wallace converses with Jim Tormey.	Guests enjoy a variety of light foods, including pork tenderloin and crab dip.
Petit fours—appropriately sized and shaped like our block theme—made an elegant dessert.
Baxter and Ruth Simmons chat with Woody and Karen Griffin.	Board Members Henry Mills and Tiffany Franklin keep the mood upbeat.
