The Fayetteville Chapter of WoodmenLife will continue its community scholarship events in October and November. Events include something for everyone.
Saturday Night Family Life is open every other weekend, from 5 to 9 p.m. Come enjoy live music and local vendors selling food and crafts. There will also be bounce houses, a water play area and movies.
Most know WoodmenLife as an insurance broker, but the company itself encourages participation in the areas it lends to.
“Woodmen of the World was originally started to care for those who worked in forestry and also to care for their families if the need arose,” said Amanda Crew, who helps organize family life events.
WoodmenLife continues to promote the commitment to care in all its communities with various volunteering or socializing opportunities.
For the Fayetteville Chapter, this means providing assistance to those in need and constantly striving to improve the future of our local neighbors.
In today’s world of hustle and bustle, the local WoodmenLife chapter recognized the need for an event that would bring their neighbors together to socialize in a relaxed and safe environment.
The site sits on nearly three acres with plenty of room for kids to play while parents and friends relax.
The event also gives local vendors a place to showcase their culinary expertise or artisanal products.
Admission to Saturday Night Family Life is free to the public. Guest vendors appreciate your patronage of their arts.
WoodmenLife has already had a busy start to the fall season as it makes way for a new family life community garden. The garden is built by volunteers on the site that once housed the swimming pool, a feature that was removed two years ago.
Volunteering is a principle of WoodmenLife and the group welcomes anyone who wants to lend a hand to this project.
“We had to close the pool during the pandemic and then it was too expensive to reopen, so we’re designing and building a community garden in its place,” Crew said.
The Crew family already has an orchard in the area, so leading this project at WoodmenLife was a natural fit for Amanda and her husband.
Saturday Night Family Life at Woodmen is located at 414 E. Mountain Drive in Fayetteville and runs from 5pm to 9pm on October 8th and 22nd and November 5th.
If your fall calendar is already booked, check back in the spring as Saturday Night Family Life returns with each new season. For more information, call 910-364-6168.
