Kavanaugh, who is making her first appearance at the

coffee house, has told her empowering and enriching stories at venues

as diverse as a dinner meeting of the American Business

Women's Association, Six Flags Over Georgia, the Blueberry

Jubilee Storytelling Festival, and, for the 1996 Olympics, Stories under

the Southern Stars. She has been president of the Southern Order of

Storytellers and has taught classes on storytelling at Kennesaw

State University, the North Arts Center in Dunwoody, Clayton

College and State University, and elsewhere.

The coffee house is presented at National Heights

Baptist Church by Offshoot Productions. The church is located at the

intersection of Ga. Highway 54 and Old Norton, between

Peachtree City and downtown Fayetteville. Doors open at 7:45 p.m. and

the entertainment begins at 8:15 p.m. Patrons can purchase

homemade desserts, gourmet coffee, a variety of teas, hot spiced apple

cider and cold drinks. Patrons who bring their own mugs receive a

discount on hot beverages and are eligible to compete for the "Most

Unusual Mug Award."

General admission is $5 ($4 for seniors and under age 12).
