Tables, tables and more tables! Lakeside Hospice and The Christian Love Pantry teamed up for an extraordinary fundraising event—Tablescapes 2017.

Over 300 attended the event Saturday morning, which included lunch and the Pell City High School Show Stoppers as entertainment.

Tables were waited upon by volunteers from the Show Stoppers, Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church Youth, Pell City High School Key Club, FBLA, HOSA, Skills USA, Beta Club and the Interact Club.

Winning table of choice was decorated by Virginia College of Birmingham, with a “Madd Hatter” theme.

“It was so beautiful and creative,” said attendee Diane Foster.

Over $15,000 was raised to be split between the two non profits.

Lakeside Hospice and The Christian Love Pantry wish to thank First United Methodist Church for hosting the annual event and all the table servers, decorators, and donations from area businesses.
