(Atlantic) – An annual fundraising event for SHIFT ATL was held Saturday evening, in Atlantic. Jessie Shiels, President of the non-profit organization, said 372 people were served a meal of steak or pork plus assorted side dishes. She says tickets for the event were sold-out a couple of months in advance. They were for $50 per ticket or $350 for a table of eight. Those who came had the option of sticking around for the “Dueling Pianos.”

She said the event seemed to go off without a hitch, and their were no complaints.

Jessie says an open house was also held for the house they had rehabbed at 608 Hazel Street, in Atlantic. That took place Sunday.

You can see pictures of the house and property on the SHIFT ATL Facebook page. So what’s next for SHIFT ATL?

The organization was founded in the late Spring of 2019. Their mission is to revitalize Atlantic through projects, services, and programs to enhance the community with development and growth.
