Talk about generous!

Bid on a 4-day vacation at this fabulous mountain resort cottage (left)

We know we’re lucky to live in the beautiful Golden Isles of Georgia. But sometimes you just want to see some other parts of this gorgeous country of ours. The Silent Auction at A Taste of Glynn to the rescue with a fantastic Maggie Valley, NC vacation up for bid.

            One of Glynn Community Crisis Center’s Board members has gone over-the-top generous for the Silent Auction and donated the use of her own private vacation home for a sought-after prize. This cozy, delightful mountain “cottage” can be the destination for the highest bidder for a 4-day, 4-night extended weekend stay. Four bedrooms, four baths, fully equipped kitchen and plenty of room let you take the family or friends with you.

            Maggie Valley is close to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the Blue Ridge Parkway. The cottage is located in an ideal location central to so many highland activities like skiing, whitewater rafting, hiking and exploring North Carolina’s unique Appalachian heritage. There’s great food, music and dancing nearby as well.

            All proceeds of the Silent Auction at A Taste of Glynn go directly to support Glynn Community Crisis Center’s Amity House, Hope House and Outreach programs. You can have the best of all worlds: dine on some of the finest food in the land at the oceanfront King and Prince Beach and Golf Resort at A Taste of Glynn, then vacation in the Smokies at a lovely private cottage. All while helping others in our community.  It’s a win-win-win situation!

            Plan to attend A Taste of Glynn on Sunday, March 25, 2012, from 5-8 pm. at the King and Prince Beach and Golf Resort. Twenty-five of the area’s finest restaurants, resorts and caterers will compete for your vote for The People’s Choice awards, as well as judged prizes in nine other menu categories. New this year- the inaugural Celebrity Chef’s Choice Award, judged by Chef Holly Chute, Executive Chef at the Georgia Governor’s Mansion.
