Stars on Lamar is moving to February. We have decided to change things up a bit this year! Mark your calendars for Saturday night, February 10, for "Dinner and a Show". For our new members, this is our annual fundraiser for Little Shepherd Children's Center. The evening will include a silent auction. This is an adult event and makes a great date night (especially since it's so close to Valentine's Day!).
More information will come later!
