The 15th Annual Girls Night Out welcomed a large crowd to the Lannom Center on Thursday night, September 12. Hosted by the Southern Accent Chapter of the American Business Women's Association (ABWA), Girls Night Out provides local businesswomen with a platform in which to market their goods, while also raising money for a good cause, as all proceeds go toward providing scholarships for local graduating seniors.
