CHILI COOK-OFF TO BENEFIT CCHH        

Saturday, January 25, 1 - 4 pm

These cold winter days have been excellent for perfecting your CHILI recipe - share it or come taste others!

20% of all art purchased during the Cook-Off will be donated to CCHH. The Artestry Hideaway is also hand crafting pottery angels.  These angels can be personalized with a loved ones name and 20% of those purchases will be donated throughout the year. 

Tasting fee is $10/adults, $5/children. 

Please contact Angie Williams of The Artestry Hideaway at 919-244-7354 or email mizpahpottery@gmail.com if you would like to participate as a chili contestant or if you would like an angel made and personalized for you or a loved one.

Cook-Off winners will receive art donate by Artestry Hideaway NC Artists. 

CALLING ALL VOLUNTEERS!

February 5th at Noon - Train Depot, Morehead City
Volunteer Lunch and Meeting to kick off 2014! 

We are so excited to ring in 2014 with so many wonderful volunteers, whether you are new or long-time veterans.  Without our volunteers' dedicated time and support, SECU CCHH would still be a dream.  THANK YOU for being a part of this special place.

Each one of you are so important to our beautiful hospice home and our new, continuing mission.  We are extremely grateful for all that you do and know we can't accomplish our goals without you. 

Our goal at this meeting is to have our lead volunteers in place for 2014 events and activities.  We also always have administrative work, mailings and office hours if that is of interest to you. Bennette will coordinate administrative volunteers.  Patti Schweis will also be there to tell us about volunteering in patient care & operations, so please join us for this important meeting!

Our volunteers continue to be the foundation of the SECU Crystal Coast Hospice House! We can't thank you enough for your dedicated support and time to this special place.

Please RSVP to Bennette by phone, 336-202-0765 or email her at
