A sweet combination: Chocolate and Charity!

Posted in News by

If there’s one weakness I have, it’s giving in to my sweet tooth.

On April 25th, Community Christian Church hosted their 2013 ‘Chocolate for Charity’ event where over 25 vendors offered their sweets and went head to head in the amateur or professional division.

The money raised by the event will go to non-profit groups in the Lake of the Ozarks area.

To read more about the event, read LakeNewsOnline’s story.

And since it’s Friday, I wanted to ask — what is your favorite chocolate dessert?

I’m a sucker for brownies! 😀

Enjoy your weekend! – Sherry

We want to hear from you!  What is your favorite restaurant when you’re visiting the Lake of the Ozarks?
Olive Branch Restaurant
Olive Branch Restaurant

May your time at the Olive Branch be a new beginning for you. Look around you at the friends and family enjoying the good food and fellowship of this place. Many a new beginning got its start over a good meal, and many a person has felt at peace and in harmony with the world after a time of fellowship and dining. It was for this purpose that the Olive Branch came in being. It is more than a restaurant; it is a gathering place once again just as it was when it was a church. As you leave this evening, perhaps you will hear the cooing of the dove calling the human family to peace, and if you are truly fortunate, perhaps you will see a dove in flight with an olive branch in its mouth.
