This past Saturday night, September 8th, we, The Bassette Real Estate Group (Jim and Peggy) had the opportunity to join John and Kimberly Irving of Irving and Irving, Attornies at Law, in Old Town Manassas, in support of CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates for Abused and Neglected Children) at Evening Under The Stars. This event, held annually, raises money to help local children. It is "The Night of a Thousand Stars shining lights of hope over the abused and neglected children...for we ae a community that cares."
This wonderful event, held first in 1998, is supported by the local businesses, restaurants (such as Okra's Foundation Room) and citizens. The retro music, by Doc Scantlin & the Imperial Palms Orchestra, is remiscent of the 1940's. The twinkling lights in the background showcased the many local celebrities in attendance. Among the attendees were: Manassas Mayor Doug Waldron, City Councilman Andy Harrover and his wife Sarah (who own Matrix Computer Consulting in Manassas), Prince William County Supervisor Corey Stewart, and Supervisor Wally Covington with his wife Connie, Sheriff Glenn Hill, and 50th District Delegate Jackson Miller were among the supporters of this very worthy endeavor.
The many CASA volunteers worked hard to put such a lavish event together, and to those in attendance, it seemed to come off without a hitch. We had a wonderful time, thanks to the 100 volunteers who labored to make Evening Under the Stars a success! (And the invitation from our good friends the Irvings)!!!
