Feb 24 all-day
Texas Roadhouse

Many have heard of “love languages”; the ways we share and receive love from those most important in our life.  One of those love languages? Acts of service.  What better act of service than donating blood with The Blood Connection (TBC) and their partner organizations? Donating blood is a compassionate way to show our neighbors and community just how much we care.  This February, TBC is partnering with Texas Roadhouse to provide fun and rewarding opportunities to donate blood.

 

On February 23 and March 2, TBC is once again partnering with Texas Roadhouse for the “Hearts as Big as Texas” campaign.  Now in its fifth year, Hearts as Big as Texas brings more than 20 bloodmobiles out across the Carolinas and Georgia to make blood donation convenient and fun for community members.

Dave Desmelik – Off the Clock Friday
Feb 24 @ 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Fretwell Spartanburg

Dave Desmelik is a singer-songwriter and instrumentalist whose musical
focus is on original compositions. What attracts listeners to Desmelik’s
tunes, old and new, is the element of authenticity incorporated in them.
There is no sugar coating involved. His songs are not wrapped in false
smiles, rather they are stark and open and tend to settle on the pulse of
everyday life. An unclosed and evolving journal of thoughts set to music
and melodies in prose and instrumental performance. If you listen to Dave
Desmelik’s songs, whether lyrical or instrumental, you may become
pleasantly fixed in the simplistic realness of them and if you hear
Desmelik in a live setting you may realize that there are no tricks, just a
genuine venture into the highs and lows of life.
About the event:
Join our Off the Clock Friday at Fretwell! Each Friday, we’ll have a local
artist perform live music at our outdoor venue.
With delicious snacks and drinks (we now have beers on tap!), and lawn
games on our kid and dog-friendly green space, it’s fun for all ages!
About Fretwell:
Fretwell is Spartanburg’s newest gathering spot, located just a few steps
off the Mary Black Rail Trail. Whether you’re here to rest from the Trail,
have a beer or coffee with friends, or listen to live music with your
family, we’ll have a spot for you.

Middle Tyger Area Council – JUMPSTART
Mar 2 @ 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm
The Bryant Center
For February’s meeting, the Middle Tyger Area Council is heading to the The Bryant Center for a lunch with speaker Don Williams and an introduction to JUMPSTART. With a 96% success rate, JUMPSTART differentiates itself from other reentry programs. They take pride in working with 17 out of SC’s 21 prisons and provide vital accountability and program diversity to combat recidivism.

Featured Speaker: Don Williams, Co-Founder of JUMPSTART South Carolina

Don’s heartfelt desire to help individuals tap into their “True Potential” is the driving force that pushes him to equip returning citizens to become productive and fulfilled in the mission God has called them to. Don’s passion for assisting those who were incarcerated is dear to his heart. He knows all too well how difficult this can be- as he personally endured this journey- and now speaks to youth and adults about making the right choices and living a life committed to giving themselves away.
