25th Year Anniversary Feature - Raleigh Downtowner

Here's the link to the Raleigh Downtowner, a local newpaper, that expounds on the goodness of Raleigh Downtown: http://www.raleighdowntowner.com/RaleighDowntowner-Vol5-Iss11.pdf. The Oakwood Inn Bed & Breakfast has a very nice and wonderful story on the 25th Anniversary of the Inn. The Raleigh Downtowner talks about the Inn and the wonderful reunion of the past innkeepers, with their first Inn guests in 1984 and the current Innkeeper, Doris Jurkiewicz. It's a great story that I am surprised that CNN or Oprah have not picked up yet. You can't beat an up-lifting story like this, compared to all the murder and mayhem that occurs in our daily lives. Yeah.... it is a little boring, except to those who are close emotionally to the Inn... like my daughters in Michigan.

In the same issue, it talks about a great party downtown having to do with collecting toys for tots. The Oakwood Inn gave away a one night stay at the Inn for a $139 value for a door prize. The party was on Thursday, December 17, 2009. Hope a wonderful nice couple won it, so they can have a nice quiet and romantic evening out on the town but staying with us at The Oakwood Inn Bed & Breakfast. It was for a great cause... toys for those children who would have been without this Christmas. No Scrooge at The Oakwood Inn B & B!!
