Guests Enjoy Historic Soiree Setting

On September 28, 130 people from all over the Triangle gathered at the Walnut Hill Cotton Gin for TLC’s annual River Society Soiree. River Society is comprised of our distinguished leaders who contribute $1,000 or more for annual membership. The generosity of this group funds approximately 50% of the operating funds for TLC. Thanks to 2006-07 River Society chairs (and Gin owners) Jim Smith & Pam Troutman for hosting this very special event. Thanks also to event sponsor Lip Service Contemporary Catering, and to Lisa C. Miller of Simply Southern Photography for the photos. More photos.
