TDC sponsors an annual Doll Show and Sale. The club makes donations to local children’s charities from the proceeds of the Fund Raiser (UFDC Helper) Tables. (See Melissa George Neonatal Memorial Fund below).
We’ve done so well these past 2 years at the Depot Roundhouse that we’re doing it again. Our Show Chair has tweaked the floorplan, and we will have 20 more tables and more new vendors to fill them.
This year’s event is on Saturday, August 15th, 2009 at the Historic Huntsville Depot Roundhouse (click here for directions). Our Show Time is 10 am until 4 pm.
FREE PARKING (click here to see the parking lot and get directions) continues to be available. Stanlieo’s Sub Villa will return with their food concession, with hot dogs, snacks and drinks available for purchase throughout the day.
The featured Star of this year’s Fund Raiser Table is Ashley, by Madame Alexander. The theme of this year’s event is Children’s Fairy Tales. Ashley is an 18 inch playdoll, and she is being dressed by club members to celebrate these wonderful stories of our childhood. Click here to see the lovely outfits that have been made so far.
We are carrying the Fairy Tale theme through to our Education display. Come and see many different dolls dressed as characters from the fairy tales we read (and had read to us) as children.
Every year, we make a donation from the show profit to children’s charities. For 2009, we are giving back on behalf of our own. This year’s beneficiary is the Melissa George Neonatal Memorial Fund of Huntsville Hospital which raises money for life-saving equipment for the Regional Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Huntsville Hospital.
Club member Pamela Powell’s grandson was a recipient of the services of this unit during the past year and our donation is our way of saying thank you and celebrating the continuing life and good health of Aiden.
