Hello Charlotte!
I am very happy to send this December newsletter. I was so excited putting these events together for you! I KNEW Charlotte was going to be a
great place for
Social Butterflies! Thank you sharing SB with your friends. The first issue in October went out to 5 families. This month 41 families are on the email list! Have I overlooked your favorite holiday event in the Charlotte area? Email me and I will gladly post it on the Facebook page. I am happy to include church & school activities.
