Social Scene

DECEMBER WAS FILLED WITH HOLIDAY MARKETS, ARTS AND CRAFTS SHOWS, OPEN HOUSES, AND MORE on St. Simons Island. The EIL elves stopped in to catch seasonal sales and enjoy some nibbles at St. Simons Drug Co. and Restoration Imports, to grab some delicious homemade goodies and artisan gifts at the Cassina Garden Club Bake Sale, the Lord of Life Holiday Market, and Glynn Visual Art’s Mistletoe Market, and to visit Santa, the Grinch and friends while supporting the End the Stigma toy drive at Golden Isles Olive Oil. It was a whirlwind month and we hope you all had a wonderful holiday!

THE ANNUAL MERRY MIXER TO BENEFIT THE ELIZABETH F. CORRELL TEEN CENTER AND BOYS & GIRLS CLUB OF SOUTHEAST GEORGIA

BEGAN EARLY IN THE COURTYARD AT HALYARDS AND TRAMICI WITH AN AWESOME TAILGATE PARTY! Team allegiances were strong, but there was nothing but smiles, good sportsmanship, and friendly rivalry as the festivities progressed through the big gala that evening. Even rain couldn’t put a damper on the holiday revelry. This is always such a fun event for a great cause – put it on your calendar for next year!
