Holiday Swing, 2011

A Vintage Hollywood Gala

Holiday Swing is the highly attended, much beloved kick off party for the Winter Gala Season. In 2010, over 1,200 people joined us aboard the U.S.S. Holiday Swing. This year we are stepping up the glitz and elegance with a Vintage Hollywood Gala! Expect movie star treatment in movie star style, an enormous silent auction and a plethora of entertainment. You won’t want to miss this 23rd anniversary of Holiday Swing.
The fun begins at 7:00 with free dance lessons provided by Four on the Floor. At 8:00 pm the wonderful 20 piece swing orchestra, Sentimental Journey, begins in the Kodak Theater while the Studebakers kick their heels up in the Emerald City. Tapestry Dance Company will make a special guest appearance as will New Orleans style marching band The Best Best Best Friends. At 10:00 pm Luna Tart and the Cocktails will play in the Emerald City room and Belly Dancer and performance artist Michelle Manx will enliven the martini tent this year! Word of Mouth Catering will provide the scrumptious buffet and Sweetish Hill Bakery, Russell’s Bakery, The Upper Crust Bakery and Lil’ Mama’s cafe will be there for the sweet treats! The 23rd annual Holiday Swing has a star studded cast and a host of fun to be had! Mark your calendar for December 3, 2011 for the most glamorous party of the year!

We’ll see you on Saturday, December 3rd, 2011! The fun, once again takes place at the Dell Jewish Community Campus located at 7300 Hart lane.

Bike Curious is in training mode for the Hill Country Ride for AIDS!

Project Transitions’ Hill Country Ride for AIDS bike team (now also open to runners) is back on the road! Last year “Bike Curious” raised over $5,000 for the Ride and this year we hope to double that. We invite you to join us in this truly rewarding and fun experience. The funds raised are distributed among ten different HIV/AIDS related organizations to help provide much needed services to people living with HIV/AIDS. Project Transitions is proud to be one of the beneficiaries of this ride. This year, the Hill Country Ride has added a running component offering a 5k, 10k, 1/2 marathon and a duathalon, in case biking isn’t your thing. This event is not a race and is open to people of all ages and abilities.

Participation in the Hill Country Ride will impact the lives of people living with HIV/AIDS in a greatly profound way. For this reason alone, participation is totally worth the effort. But, as an added bonus, there are also personal benefits to participating in the event! These include, but are not limited to: The confidence that comes with setting a goal and achieving said goal; the praise that your doctor will bestow upon you for participating in a healthy and active life style; The compliments that are sure to come with the impending loss of weight and new muscle tone; and the camaraderie associated with being an active member of your community.

Help Project Transitions make this the best Hill Country Ride for AIDS yet!
