More than a dozen CWN members gathered at Denny’s in Grasonville on the morning of December 19 for the group’s annual Shock and Claus event.

Each year, members come together for a pre-holiday breakfast at a local restaurant with one special goal: to surprise their waitstaff with an extra-generous tip as a heartfelt holiday gift.

This event is always one of our favorites. Time and again, the universe—or whatever you believe in—has a way of guiding us to just the right person who can truly use a little extra kindness during the holiday season.

This year was no exception. Thanks to the generosity of the women who attended, we were able to leave a tip totaling $1,200.00, helping to make the holidays especially bright for a very deserving Denny’s employee.
