Hops and Hope
From 7:30-10 p.m. the nonprofit 100 Women of Lake Highlands hosts a benefit for Feed Lake Highlands, another charity that assists those in need, through which organizers hope to raise enough funds to feed 500 neighborhood families over the holidays. The celebration serves as a membership drive for 100 Women, which periodically pools money for worthy local causes, and an opportunity to see our neighborhood’s newest, and only, brewery.
