Musical pairing fundraiser Aug. 23 at Ginny Lane
Help send GSUMC Choir to play at Carnegie Hall

Join the staff at Ginny Lane for its first ever musical pairing dinner dundraiser to help the Gulf Shores United Methodist Church Choir raise funds for its upcoming trip to perform at Carnegie Hall in New York City. Musical Pairing is a new dining technique pioneered by Barbara Werner. The basic premise is that just like an intricate formula is used to pair wine with food, we can also use a formula to pair music with food. The event will be held on Thursday, August 23 at 6 p.m., and cost is $40 per person. For reservations, please call 251-224-6500.
