September Salons

Since 1998 Moveable Feast has been preparing and delivering hot, nutritious meals to people with HIV/ AIDS and people on hospice care provided by Bluegrass Care Navigators, their caregiver(s), and dependent children in Fayette County. In 2022 we surpassed 700,000 meals delivered. The inflation rate in the past year has made continuing our mission much more challenging. We are gathering together today to have fun celebrating this holiday season while also demonstrating Moveable Feast's and you the audience ' continued commitment to the mission.

I want to thank our sponsors, The Imperial Court, the Divas, Spark Cafe' all the people that served on the 12 Divas of Christmas Extravaganza committee, Moveable Feast Board of Directors, those that donated to the silent auction, all the volunteers that made this event happen, and last but not least our celebrity divas-Vice Mayor Steve Kay, his business partner as well as his partner in life author Rona Roberts, and nationally known comedian Etta May.

I am delighted that you have chosen to spend this afternoon with us and grateful for your continued support of Moveable Feast and the Imperial Court of Kentucky.
