Thanksgiving – Baywood Belles
There’s a lot of chitter chatter around the blogosphere about thanksgiving, giving thanks to family, friends, god etc…
Well I’ve caught the bug and I wanted to highlight a group of women who have been raising money for good causes in their local area for twelve years. The Baywood Belles is a good old-fashioned concert party based in Swansea, they entertain by singing, dancing and doing sketches at nursing homes as well as holding full blown concerts to raise money for their specially chosen good causes. Don’t get me wrong this isn’t just a charity thing these ladies have a crazy time together, you only need to see some of their shows to see they’re having a blast. They have drunken annual trips away and a rumour has it a reasonable portion of their rehearsal time is spent gossiping!
They’ve worked really hard over the past year, fundraising, finding a new rehearsal venue as well as producung their best sketches yet – chitty chitty bang bang and ‘bellesque’. They’ve featured in their local media and have become like celebs on the nursing home scene! AND they now have an online presence, their website has just launched and looks amazing, there are loads of pictures as well as a short piece on each member. Please go and check it out, and please sign the guestbook, they deserve the support, Christmas can be a lonely time for the elderly but one afternoon’s entertainment from the Baywood Belle’s is enough to cheer anyone up.
Thanks Baywood Belles – we need more of you
