LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
   
Hey  Y'all.  
THANK YOU to everyone who helped with my first
Adult Easter Egg Hunt - held in my garden this past week.   We're trying out our
new logo - a wiener dawg surrounding the SavannahMasterCalendar, created by
SCAD student, Kira Carlee !  
 
This week, I'm helping Cathy Neal with the Grand Opening of Core Therapy on Tuesday night, whose charity of choice is the RAPE CRISIS CENTER,  (Congrats to Kesha Gibson-Carter on her annual UnMaskerade gala last saturday at the ANDAZ hotel  - that's Donna Sapp Ball,of Georgia Furniture,  Khristine Compton of Savannah Quarters, and Jenifer Andrews of WJCL in photo on LEft at the gala)  then stopping by AMPERSAND, to check out Brian Torres's new restaurant which is hosting Cari Clark's C-Spot - the networking group for creatives, graphic design and related folks on Wed Night.  This weekend, I'm helping Marianne Ganem-Poppell with the American Diabetes DERBY festival on Bay Street- so stop by and bring the kids - for pony rides, pig races,  bouncy houses, dunking booth, live music and a bazaar of local vendors !  Sunday heading over to Forsyth Park to see the dogs at DOGGIE Carnival, then stopping by to see my neighbor DAWN BAKER's movement in the Park. If you'd like for me or Samantha to attend your event, & cover in the newsletter please  let me know a week in advance, if possible !  Thank YOU !!  scott  :)
