Community Corner

Fundraiser Featuring The Voice of Alex and Ani Band

Annie's Hallmark Baldoria, a local family-run gift shop and boutique with locations in Salem and Londonderry, NH, celebrates its 25th Anniversary with an Alex and Ani Spring Energy Event Saturday, May 3, noon until 3 p.m. at Target Plaza (203 S Broadway), Salem, NH.

The focus of the event is fundraising for Emmaus, a nationally recognized community-based non-profit that provides services and develops affordable housing. As Annie's celebrates Moms during the month of May, so it celebrates and supports the work of Emmaus and the homeless mothers working their way toward independence for themselves and their children. Emmaus offers one of the most innovative and comprehensive approaches to homelessness in the country.

The event features a free, live performance from the band Colour of London, the voice of Alex and Ani. This Indie Rock twosome from Nashville, TN, has toured the United States and has been featured on several TV and radio commercials across the country. Attendees will enjoy a Meet 'n Greet with vocalist Jimmie Allen, a Top 40 contestant on American Idol Season 10, and guitarist Nate Woodall, an acclaimed musician who has composed original works for national television.
