Do you love the tangy crunch of southern style cheese straws? Are you an alumna, parent, or friend of Hollins? If you answered "Yes," then we know you’ll be excited about this news!
The Richmond Alumnae Chapter, in partnership with Carriage House Products, is delighted to offer cheese straws - plus a wide range of delicious products - for a discounted price to Hollins alumnae, parents, and friends anywhere in the U.S.
For more than 10 years, the Richmond Alumnae Chapter has partnered with Carriage House Products each November to sell Cheese Straws as a chapter fundraiser. The money raised has enabled the Richmond chapter to host a wide variety of local events, such as the cocktail party, Easter egg hunt, prospective student parties, and intern dinners. In addition, a portion of the proceeds has been donated to the Virginia Lee Cox Blakely Scholarship at Hollins, which is a need-based scholarship for students from the Richmond area.
