Italian Cajun Wine For Wheels Party

Andy & Jackie Duhon invite you to a Italian Cajun Wine for Wheels Party at their home in Garland, Texas. For additional information call Jackie at (214) 883-8410.

What happens when you get an Italian to host a party? Fun! Get together with friends for an evening, and at the same time positively change someone’s life!
 
The Dallas Chapter of The Wheelchair Foundation is hosting an evening of Wine, Food and Fun to raise money for people in need of mobility in third world countries like Haiti and Chile.
 
Most of us take the ability to get around for granted, but imagine having to drag yourself along the ground to go anywhere. With Wine for Wheels, every $1 raised goes directly to the purchase and delivery of a Wheelchair for a person in need.
 
For the event just bring a special bottle of wine to share (it does not have to be expensive), and a $25 per person or more donation. Please pay online or by cash or check payable to the Wheelchair Foundation at the event. All donations are tax deductible.
 
Great food will be served.
Dress Casual.
 
To make a difference and have an enjoyable evening, please join us. If you were at our last event you know how much fun it was, and that we raised enough to buy approximately 100 wheelchairs. We need your help to to it again.

Dancing for the Stars to benefit the Wheelchair Foundation

Local celebrities will be paired with dance instructors to raise money for charity in the Colleyville Rotary Club’s “Dancing for the Stars.”

The event from 7 to 11 p.m. on Feb. 6 will take place at the Colleyville Center, 5301 Riverwalk Drive in Colleyville, Texas. Money raised will benefit the Grapevine-Colleyville Education Foundation, End Polio Now, the Wheelchair Foundation and other charities supported by the club.

The event is similar in concept to the ABC television program Dancing with the Stars, in which a celebrity is paired with a professional dancer. The dancing pair is judged on their performance.

But in Dancing for the Stars, people are asked to “vote” for their favorite celebrity dancer with a monetary contribution. The dancer who gets the most contributions is the champion.

Dancers include: Elixir Salon and Daymaker owner Danielle Arnett, a former go-go dancer; GCISD Deputy Superintendent Jim Chadwell; Colleyville City Manager Jennifer Fadden; GCEF Board member Sue Franks; former Miss Texas Carly Gil; former Texas Rangers baseball player Jose Guzman; Colleyville Chamber of Commerce chairman and Crown of Life Lutheran Church pastor David Jung; former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Chelsea Keifer; Colleyville Mayor David Kelly; meteorologist Rebecca Miller; and musician and recording artist Danny Wright.

The masters of ceremonies will be Miss Texas 2008-2009 Rebecca Robinson and Colleyville Police Officer Raymon Cannon.

It is expected that State Rep. Vicki Truitt (R-Keller) will make a guest appearance and may even sing a song.

The dance instructors will include Rocco Tiberi, Vince Duhon, Kylie Frandsen, Christian Dupuy, Dana McLeod and Tammi Conner.

“The real winners are the charities and causes we support,” the club said on its Web site.

Food will be provided by Red Barn Bar-B-Que, McAlister’sDeli, Bellisimo Italian Restaurant, Celebrity Cafe & Bakery, Market Street and Costa Vida.

Tickets to the show are $50 each, which includes food and dancing afterwards.

For more information, and to vote, see www.colleyvillerotaryclub.com and click “Dancing for the Stars.”
