Just a quick note of thanks to everyone who came out tonight (for 11-14-09 event). This was the most well attended Iguana Flemington event to date with well over 150 people that came out plus many talented and generous musicians.
The music was amazing and the crowd incredible.
We also raised almost $1000 net all going to the Flemington Food Pantry, along with about 20 bags of canned goods.
Great fun. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! -michael
SUCCESS LEADS IGUANA COFFEEHOUSE TO LARGER VENUE, PARTNERSHIP WITH FLEMINGTON ELKS
Common Interest In Community Building Brings Together Grace Church, Iguana Music and Elks Lodge To Benefit Flemington Area Food Pantry
Saturday, November 14, 2009 at 6:30 p.m.
Following the success of its first year, the Iguana Coffeehouse is set to kick off year two in a new and larger venue to accommodate increased attendance. Past events have attracted crowds as large as 110 people. Grace United Church of Christ, Iguana Music, and the Flemington Elks Lodge 1928 have planned this next installment of the popular quarterly event to benefit the Flemington Area Food Pantry.
The fundraiser will be held on Saturday, November 14, 2009 from 6:30pm to 11pm at the Elks Lodge located at 165 State Route 31 in Flemington. The Iguana features a host of top notch musicians who volunteer their talents playing folk, rock, traditional, alternative, country and blues with a wide variety of instrumentation.
The Iguana Coffeehouse is an event where all are welcome. The intent is to create an opportunity where people from all walks of life can come together, hear great music, and in the process strengthen the local community. A donation of $10 includes music, pizza, salads and dessert with all profits going straight to the food pantry. A cash bar will provide all beverages. Canned goods will also be collected at each event to help meet increasing demand.
