Greetings!
HELP SUPPORT THE SIMON SHARP EAGLE FUND IN THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER!! 
Although we are unable to have our annual Chef's and the City event benefitting the Simon Sharp Eagle Fund, we still want to support the two charities that the Eagle Fund benefits, the Blair E. Batson Children's Hospital and the Boy Scouts of America. For the month of November, 10% of all revenue from Fairview guest rooms, Sophia's Restaurant, and nomiSpa will be evenly distributed to these two great charities. We hope that you will come and dine at Sophia's, stay at the Fairview, relax at nomiSpa, and help support these two great causes. |
