25th Annual
Christmas Eve Breakfast Announces Guest Charity
(Jackson, TN) Named a Top 20 event by the Southeast Tourism Society in 2008, the 25th annual Old Country Store Christmas Eve Breakfast has announced it's 2009 non-profit guest as the National Meningitis Association. According to Deborah Shaw Laman, Old Country Store marketing director, "Several years ago we began to invite a non-profit organization to set up an information area to highlight their work to our guests at the Christmas Eve Breakfast. We lost a family member, Sarah Beth Whitehead, the niece of Juanita and Clark Shaw, to meningitis at the age of 14. She was a precious and incredible young lady. Her family will be our special guest at the Christmas Eve Breakfast. Her mother, Tresa Whitehead, is now a member of the National Meningitis Association's MOMs on Meningitis program. Sarah Beth's story is on the National Meningitis Association website at: http://www.nmaus.org/awareness/tennessee.htm . "
The National Meningitis Association, Inc. (NMA) is a national non-profit charity. The primary goal of NMA is to educate and increase awareness of meningococcal disease. In particular, NMA is focused on raising awareness and protection among adolescents and young adults, many of whom can be protected through education and vaccination efforts.
Attendance at the Old Country Store Christmas Eve Breakfast each year is around 2,000 people for what has become a favorite holiday tradition among West Tennessee area families. The Old Country Store hours will be 6:30 am to 2 pm for breakfast with the Gift Shoppe closing at 3 pm. The Museum will be open from 9 am to 3 pm.
