MCYS 14th Annual Ladies Night Out sets records

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Texas -- Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, Montgomery County Youth Services’ (MCYS) 14th Annual Ladies Night Out achieved the event’s greatest success yet, hosting its highest number of attendees and raising more money for MCYS than it has in prior years.

Held at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott and featuring live music from ‘The Spazmatics,’ the evening attracted more than 500 guests and raised more than $72,000 for Montgomery County Youth Services.

Ladies from the community dressed up in ‘80s attire and got together for an annual night of fun that included a dinner buffet and cash bar, live music, dancing, a hula hoop contest, musical chairs, shopping and pampering stations, a silent auction, a raffle and giveaways, with all proceeds benefiting Montgomery County Youth Services.

“Girls Just Wanna Have Fun was our best event yet,” said Jennifer Landers, Development Director for Montgomery County Youth Services. “’The Spazmatics’ and the ‘80s theme drew in a lot more guests who were excited to be a part of all the fun of the evening, and ultimately we were able to surpass last year’s numbers for MCYS. We are thrilled to be able to continue to create a greater awareness of what Ladies Night Out is all about - supporting MCYS’ two local shelters and funding services for youth and families in crisis. We are so excited with the success of this year’s event and look forward to another fabulous event next year.”

Montgomery County Youth Services’ next Ladies Night Out is scheduled for Thursday, May 9, 2013, and volunteers are always needed. For more information on volunteering for MCYS’ Ladies Night Out, please contact Jennifer Landers at 936-522-8684 or jennifer.landers@youthmc.org.
