Greetings!

Please join us for an Ad Club luncheon featuring guest speaker, Jerry Romig.

Thursday October 6, 2011 11:45 - 1:00 pm Calcasieu

(930 Tchoupitoulas St. New Orleans LA, 70130)

Free for members, $35 for non-members

If you've attended a New Orleans Saints game in the last 40 years, and we know you have, then you probably know Jerry as the "voice" of the Black and Gold. Since 1969, from the golden days, to the Aints, through Katrina, and to a Super Bowl season, Jerry has been there, done that, and called it all down from the box. A journalist at heart, he began his career at 16, reporting for a daily New Orleans newspaper. During his time with the Saints, Jerry has come to embody the perseverance and fortitude of New Orleans' favorite sons. Never wavering, always positive, his words and voice have provided inspiration to journalists, advertisers, and fans throughout the region. We are excited to have him talk about his time with the team and present "Saints and Sinners I've Known."

We hope to see you there!

Corks n Canvas and Painting with a Twist select DREAM Fund as a recipient for
Painting with a Purpose.

August 21, 2011

DREAM Fund selected as Painting with a Purpose recipient!

Corks n Canvas founders, Cathy Deano and Renee Maloney's roots are firmly planted in the non-profit, volunteer world and they soon began looking for ways to continue their efforts of giving back to the community. With many organizations requesting fundraisers, Cathy and Renee, with the help of Gamble Communications of New Orleans, developed "Painting with a Purpose". PWAP is a monthly fundraiser hosted by Corks n Canvas and Painting with a Twist franchises. Most often, each franchise selects a non-profit within their community; although participation by franchises is not mandatory, it is highly encouraged.

Painting with a Twist Corporate has selected DREAM Fund as its recipient for the month of August, with participating locations* donating event proceeds back to DREAM Fund. DREAM Fund was selected based on the non-profits' commitment to their mission, the wide spectrum of people they serve and a shared franchise and recipient coverage area. Each location has an online calendar and reservations can be made online. www.paintingwithatwist.com and www.corksncanvas.com. The event is open to the public and you will leave with your very own finished piece of art!

DREAM Fund is celebrating its 20th Anniversary in 2011 and is grateful for the partnership with Corks n Canvas and Painting with a Twist. DREAM Fund has gifted over $1, 000,000 and served over 500 individuals or families since 1991.
