Holiday Party at the County Line, Dec. 7
The County Line and Cannoli Joe's are proud to announce the annual BBBS Holiday Party! Each year, the County Line invites Bigs, Littles and families to their restaurant for a hamburger lunch to celebrate the holidays. The County Line and Cannoli Joe's raises money to purchase bicycles that will be given away in a door prize drawing at the party. Thanks to corporate sponsors and individual toy drives, BBBS is also able to provide one gift for each child in attendance. Matches and families should RSVP to their Match Support Specialist. For all other inquiries, please contact Meghan Jones, 512-472-5437.
