It's Ladies Night

Ladies, get dolled up and grab your pocket books, it's time to wine, dine, and raise some money!

Back in 2004, Lou Adele May gathered up some ladies in the community and put together a "fun-filled night" of shopping and donating for the women in Bee County, the Christus Spohn Beeville Ladies Night Out.  In a "boutique shopping experience" planned just for women, although I heard a few men got in the door last year, this night provides the ladies of Bee County the opportunity to shop and raise money all at the same time.  There will be a costume contest, DJ music, and more!
