PITTSBORO, N.C. - April 9, 2013 - PRLog -- Pittsboro, NC - On Saturday April 13, 2013 between noon and 3:00 p.m. a benefit for Pittsboro's Family Violence and Rape Crisis Services will take place at the Pittsboro Roadhouse & General Store in the form of a baby shower.

"Duchess for a Day: A Royal Baby Shower" was the idea of Chatham Business Services owner, Heather Johnson, who honed the event details with friends. "I enjoy events, and have been fascinated by the British Royal family and the Duchess of Cambridge, so I began imagining a fun event that could also benefit others," said Johnson."I ran the idea by several of my friends and together we coined the name and the phrase, 'Every mother is a queen. Every child is royalty'". 

Johnson, a regular at the Pittsboro Roadhouse & General Store, discussed the event with owner Chef Greg Lewis. Lewis immediately offered to host the event and cater it with British inspired tea and finger foods.

"I appreciate Heather's initiative and the opportunity to help others while having fun," said Lewis. "We're glad to help." In the  eight months since they opened, the Pittsboro Roadhouse has hosted numerous special events, including recently, a drive for Cinderella's Closet of Chatham County.

"We were very happy when Heather Johnson approached us about holding "A Royal Baby Shower" to benefit our clients," said Kathy Hodges, FVRC Co-Executive Director. "And we really appreciate that the Pittsboro Roadhouse has offered to host the event." http://www.fvrc.org/

Guests are invited to RSVP at the Punchbowl Invitation Site, so organizers may plan refreshments, tea and British-inspired finger foods. http://www.punchbowl.com/parties/5804869-a-royal-baby-shower

The Royal Baby Shower is free, and, guests are asked to bring wrapped gifts for babies and new moms. The gifts will be presented to clients of Family Violence and Rape Crisis Services, women who may not otherwise experience a baby shower.

The event will feature shower games with prizes; Johnson coordinated prize gifts from a number of local businesses in support of the event. There will also be a contest for fascinator hats, with several categories. The British are world-famous for their fascinators. Guests are invited to wear one to the event to participate in the contest.
