Volunteer Meet & Greet July 27
Renaissance Center manager Debbie Dunn reveals a not-so-secret side of her personality, when she takes the stage (and the microphone) with her husband, guitarist Harry Teuting, to perform a selection of heartfelt songs. After earning her music degree from Meredith College, Debbie performed professionally in theater as well as and fronting a band on tours throughout the Southeast, even opening for the Charlie Daniels Band. Join us for an intimate mini-concert on March 8!
