Parkinson's Benefit at Concourse Athletic Club

Fundraiser Event was a big Success!

The Third Annual Concourse Athletic Club’s Benefit for Parkinson’s took place on Thursday evening, April 17,2008. In each of the three years, Carrabba’s Italian Ristorante has provided heavy hors d’oeurves – ( some would call it dinner) - for the crowd assembled around the pool for the festivities. Metrotainment Bakeries provided dessert for the second year. Gentle Rain Jazz Trio provided live music which set the tone for the party as they have done for all three years.

Thanks to the many shops, entertainment companies, restaurants and hotels, guests enjoyed participating in a successful silent auction and the always exciting Balloon Pop for prizes. All proceeds go to the Georgia Chapter of the American Parkinson Disease Association for Respite Care and Research . Jacci Nightingale, a member of the athletic club, served as chairperson for the event for the second time. Her husband Tom assisted her as they worked with Concourse Athletic Club staff, club committee members, and American Parkinson Disease Association volunteers, to oversee this party which has gained the reputation of being a highlight of the spring social season. Concourse staff member Tracy Meazell has served as club chairperson for the party since its inception.
