What Matters Warren
We’re ALL Celebrities when we Serve Others–Let’s Serve & Support Some Great Local Causes This Summer!
WHAT MATTERS WARREN–Introducing “Celebrity Servers” launching at Soul Mountain Restaurant (soft opening tonight)! Stop by this weekend and next (April 27/28 and May 3/4/5) from 5p-9p to enjoy Chef Gary’s scrumptious creations & be served by Realtor Beth Medved Waller. Her tips and 10% of all restaurant meal sales will support the Warren Coalition’s HALO Read (the program that funds Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library in our community).
“Of course, I do realize that I’m not a celebrity, but the truth is we are ALL the stars of our lives, especially when we serve others! I originally had the idea to invite local politicians and leaders to serve, but I wanted to try this idea myself first. So I decided to open this new WHAT MATTERS Initiative to ANYONE who wants to ‘serve to serve’ a cause that matters to them. I am choosing to support HALO Read because of the impact the program had on my own family when my kids were young. The program shut down for about a decade locally due to a lack of funding, and if I can help it, the program will never lapse in Warren County again,” shared Beth.
Do you know young children residing in Warren County? Stop by Soul Mountain to pick up a form to enroll them to receive a FREE book in the mail every month from birth to age 5! Learn more about HELPING ALL LITTLE ONES READ at www.haloread.com and pledge to support the program currently blessing 320 of Warren County’s youngest while instilling a love of reading in them.
Want to be a Celebrity Server and serve for YOUR favorite nonprofit? Own a restaurant and want to be a part of Celebrity Servers? Call or text Beth at 540-671-6145 or visit whatmattersisyourheart.com to learn more about her latest WHAT MATTERS Initiative.
SEE YOU THIS WEEKEND AND NEXT! But don’t get HANGRY–Beth hasn’t been a server for 20+ years since her flight attendant days, so please bring your patience! She usually sells mouth-watering houses instead of meals! 😀Please Note: There will be a limited menu during Celebrity Server evenings (don’t worry, you can still order most of Chef Gary’s top favorites)!
Not hungry? Stop by for a drink and make a donation (serving wine, beer, and simple cocktails only). Or pop by with a donation and be an angel for HALO Read!
