The Girl Scouts Young Philanthropists (YP) Society will host the fifth annual Soiree on Thursday, July 17, 2014, at Rosewood Hall in Homewood’s SoHo Square from 6–9 p.m.
Young professionals are invited to join the YP Society for food and drinks, a silent auction and Role Model Runway fashion show featuring clothing provided by Belk at Colonial Brookwood Village.
New this year, local chefs from Bellini’s, Dreamcakes, FoodBar and the Silvertron Café will compete in the Chef’s Cookie Challenge, where chefs will create recipes using Girl Scout cookies. Guests will get a taste of their concoctions and vote for a people’s choice winner.
Regular priced tickets are $25; however, the first 25 early bird tickets can be purchased for $20. Tickets include food, wine and beer provided by Good People Brewing Company. The first 50 guests will receive swag bags filled with gifts and special offers.
