 A large number of volunteers and organizations gathered at the Appalachian Wireless Arena to prepare for the annual Banquet for Life, hosted by the Appalachian Pregnancy Care Center. I spoke to a few organizers to see what the Banquet is for and what theme they will be going with this year. The Banquet for Life is a celebration of life, but it is our main fundraiser. We do the Banquet for Life of course. We are a non-profit organization and you know some children's organizations, they have federal funds and state funds. We don't have any. So we just depend on our community and people, really God's people, to help us with what we're doing. So we're doing this Banquet to raise funds for the Appalachian Pregnancy Care Center and to just show an awareness of life. There's still a little bit room left at some of the tables we could probably put about maybe 10 more people. I'm proud of all the donors, the sponsors and everyone that's helped us throughout the years. My staff comes today and we decorate and get the tables ready and get everything beautiful and our theme this year is over the top. I think it's a focus on family this year because it's most important. We know it takes a village and I think we do that wonderfully here in Pike County and Eastern Kentucky really, we take care of our children and our families and so that's our focus this year is you know, it means family. Ohana. Well today we are decorating, decorating, decorating. Danae and I, we are in charge of doing the decorating here and divvying out different jobs amongst our amazing volunteers. So mainly going on today is organizing, decorating, getting everything in place. Tomorrow things will start coming together like the centerpieces for our tables. We have volunteers today putting on chair covers, table cloths, folding napkins, anything you can think of. We have help and everybody's here working together. And we try to bring just a wonderful colorful event so when people come in, they're going to know exactly where they are. Hopefully people will come in and know they think we're in Hawaii or we're at a carnival or whatever it is. We want them to come in and feel like they're just blown away that they feel like they're at that certain location. So if you want to attend the Banquet for Life call 606-433-0700.
