"No Limits" On Our Thanks to Costco

If you are a longtime follower of our blog, you will remember the "No Limits" Formal Dance that we photograph each year. With hundreds of teens and adults with special needs attending the gala, there is a lot that goes into providing them with a memorable event.
We had a super team of photographers, with Jack Deere and Carole Braden joining us this year, along with the assistance from the sweet ladies in the Circle Group from New Philadelphia Moravian Church. There are numerous opportunities to volunteer that night and the organizers would be thrilled to hear from you if you are interested in helping out. The kind folks at Hayworth-Miller even came and gave limo rides for the whole evening. They really have a heart for the community and its people.
But afterwards, the hundreds of photos need to be printed so we have partnered with Costco Photo Department in Winston-Salem to provide great looking prints at a great value. This year, we not only had the same excellent service, but Costco donated not one, but two $100 Gift Cards to use towards the printing. These photos mean so much to all of the "No Limits" attendees and the donation is greatly appreciated...Thank you for caring, Costco!

The Most Unusual Find

We were literally screaming with excitement recently at Anne Grant Photography. A check for $250 was sent to us because we had won "The Most Unusual Find" contest which is sponsored by the North Carolina Adopt-A-Highway Program. It is a statewide contest that adds a little fun to cleaning the roadside trash on highways. In October, our very own, Nolan Grant, along with Melinda Gentry and Brent Bennett, our clients, were cleaning Harper Road, the road adopted by Anne Grant Photography. They found a very large egg, close to four inches long. It was so unusual a find that we decided to submit it as an entry in the contest. Much to our surprise it won first place. We still don't know what laid that egg but we are sure glad we found it.
The money will be donated to the "No Limits Dance" that Melinda and Brent are involved in. The dance is held monthly for over 400 teens & adults with special needs at Pinedale Christian Church. They also have a No Limits Formal once a year for those who would otherwise not have an opportunity to attend a dance similar to "Prom Night". What a great Christmas Present!
