Five Days of Giving

Hard to believe, but it’s already been five years since the William J. Clinton Presidential Center opened. To celebrate, the center is hosting “Five Days of Giving” from Saturday, Nov. 14, to Wednesday, Nov. 18.

The five-day event is being held to thank all Arkansans for their support of the center. It starts Nov. 14, when admission to the library will be free to the public throughout the day. That day will also be the beginning of the five-day Clinton Center Coat Drive, along with partners Central Arkansas Gastroenterology Clinic, KATV Channel 7 News, Oak Forest Cleaners and the Little Rock Fire Department.

The celebration culminates on the actual fifth anniversary of the dedication of the Clinton Presidential Center. The event will take place on Wednesday, the 18th, with a luncheon on the grounds of the Clinton Center. President Bill Clinton will be the keynote speaker and several other speakers will participate in the program. Seating is limited.

For more a complete schedule of events and for more information, visit the Center’s Web site.

Panera Bread is place to be on Wednesday

In the mood for Panera Bread? Save that hunger for Wednesday night and support the Junior League of Little Rock at the same time.

This Wednesday, from 5 to 8 p.m., is JLLR evening at Panera Bread in Pleasant Ridge Town Center. All you have to do is say you support the Junior League of Little Rock and 10 percent of your order will be donated to JLLR. What an easy and delicious way to raise money for the organization!

There’s more. The JLLR Cookbook Committee will be at Panera from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. selling Big Taste and Holiday House will be there from 5 to 8 p.m. selling tickets.

Still rockin', just different venue

Looks like rain is likely for tonight’s forecast. And that’s why the anticipated Rock Star Lounge Party has moved from the home of Angela and Edward O. Moody to the Clinton Presidential Center.

The inaugural event benefiting the Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute kicks off at 6:30 p.m. today! Same time, same party featuring a Rolling Stones tribute band, just different place!
