Valentines Day Dance Raises over $10,000 for Scholarships

Our Valentine’s Day Dance at Moretz Mills marked another great success in our campaign to provide scholarships enabling deserving local students to attend Catawba Valley Community College. As always, of course, it was also a lot of fun.

Halloween at the Beach a Great Success

Our Halloween at the Beach fundraiser for education at Moretz Mills was an outstanding success which will allow us to continue and expand our sponsorship of deserving local students at Catawba Valley Community College. Needless to say, it was also a lot of fun! Mark your calendars for the second annual Valentines dance on Saturday February 13th as we stake our claim for Hickory as North Carolina’s westernmost beach town.

Not even a fire alarm could dampen the spirits of those in attendance, although our efforts to make everyone buy another ticket to get back in were not always successful.
