Parks Properties 2009 Fall Fund Raising Project was a huge success on Friday, October 30th.

This year we held a BBQ luncheon and featured home baked deserts (and some beautiful purchased items as well) for sale. Steve Gregory, Parks Property Realtor and one of the country’s top BBQ Miesters once again cooked world class BBQ and his special baked beans recipe. Other Parks Property agents baked their specialties from specially decorated Halloween theme cup cakes to cakes and pecan pie.

In addition there was a silent auction for a one week stay in a Gulf Front condominium in Destin, Florida. We were delighted that attendance was so good we had to send out for more tea and slaw before the first hour was up. Benefiting from this fund raiser was the Green Hills/Belle Meade chapter of Mobile Meals and Second Harvest. The Mobile Meals chapter also serves surrounding areas, like Berry Hill, Edgehill, Melrose. In addition to monetary contributions, attendees brought non-perishable food items. A total of five large boxes of food was collected for second harvest. While monetary contributions were split between Second Harvest and Mobile Meals, the director for Mobile Meals said funds donated to them would feed three to four people for a year. Recipients of Mobile Meals who are able to pay, pay a nominal fee for their meals. There are many more who are unable to pay.

A special thank you to everyone who gave their time, money and food donations to make this such a great success.
