The General Federation of Women’s Clubs of NC (GFWC of NC) Statesville Woman’s Club (SWC) will host Taste of Iredell (TOI) on Saturday, October 7, 2023 from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Historic Clubhouse located at 515 West End Avenue in Statesville. This year’s TOI theme is “Bridging the Gap of Homelessness” with event proceeds being split between The Bridge Academy of the Statesville YMCA and the SWC historic clubhouse capital campaign.
The Bridge Academy helps Iredell County local homeless families with a free After School Academy, Summer Day Camp, sports programs, Safety Around Water drowning prevention, anti-hunger initiatives and more. The SWC campaign is a long overdue endeavor to raise money for critical clubhouse repairs such as a new roof, new HVAC system and plumbing updates. Once accomplished, a handicap ramp for the clubhouse is being negotiated. Finally, aesthetic updates will position the clubhouse as a spacious, affordable and beautiful venue for hosting events in historic downtown Statesville. The original Historic Clubhouse was built in 1927; the present one was rebuilt in 1928 after a fire and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The GFWC of NC Statesville Woman’s Club is a 501(c)3 organization.
The tickets for this indoor/outdoor event will be limited to 150. We ask that patrons park in the adjacent lot at Mitchell Community College on West End Avenue. Admission ticket for this Saturday Fun Night is only $25.00 and includes sample size portions of appetizers, main dishes, desserts and brews from over a dozen local restaurants and caterers, with one complimentary alcoholic beverage. Tea, water, additional coffee stations and a cash bar will be available. The event will also feature South Iredell High School Honors Strings, directed by Leslie Overcash. A cooler with Top Shelf Spirits Giveaway Drawing will also take place. Tickets for the Top Shelf Spirits Giveaway Drawing are $5.00 each, $20.00 for five or $35.00 for ten (*must be 21 or older to purchase tickets). There is no need to be present to win. The drawing will be held at TOI on Saturday, October 7, 2023.
