Girl’s Night Out for the Kid’s A HUGE Success!

Over 400 women gathered at Carnivale on Monday, August 20th for the 2nd Annual Girls Night Out for the Kids.  Favorite activities of the evening included palm reading, belly dancing lessons, massage and psychic readings.  In addition to enjoying spicy food and delicious drinks, the women took part in a spirited live auction, resulting in a bid of $2,750 for a pair of tickets to the Oprah show.

Overall, the evening raised over $90,000 for the CCAC.
