THE CHRONICLE
Downtown Winston-Salem has more
than a dozen restaurants and bars, over a
dozen stores and places to shop, several
luxury hotels and apartments, and count
less family attractions, but there is only
one Style Bar.
Neatly tucked away in the 100 block of
West Fourth Street, The Style Bar by
Jennifer Kaye is unlike any other salon in
the area. And it's new to downtown, hav
ing opened last month.
Complete with chandelier-like light
fixtures and an excellent view of the down
town skyline from a roof-top patio, the
salon resembles what you would expect to
see in big cities like Los Angeles, New
York or Paris.
Salon owner and local hair guru
Jennifer Galloway said that when she was
looking for a location for her seventh salon
and came across prime real estate in the
growing downtown area, she knew it was
the perfect spot.
"It's very exciting to walk downtown
and see all the new businesses, and it feels
good to be a part of that growth the area
has seen in recent years," said Galloway.
"With all the young people drawn to the
area, I think more and more business own
ers are starting to down size and move
downtown."
When asked what sets the Style Bar
apart from other salons in the area,
Galloway said, "I think it's the energy.
Unlike some of the other salons, we have a
relaxed environment.
"When I was putting everything
together, I wanted to bring a fun party feel,
and I think we've accomplished that," she
continued. "There are a lot of great salons
in the area, but many are dark and don't
have much energy, so I wanted The Style
Bar to be fun and inviting. My biggest
thing was to create positive energy."
The Style Bar by Jennifer Kaye will
also serve as the official production and
distribution center for Teulu, Galloway's
very own line of beauty products.
The salon can also be rented to host
birthday parties, wedding parties, and
other events.
Galloway admits, turning the old build
ing into a state-of-the-art salon wasn't an
easy task but, with the help and support
from the downtown community, every
thing fell into place.
"The support has just been great," she
said. "Although it was tough trying to con
figure all of the plumbing and bring the
building up to date, everything came
together in the end."
"We had so many people who wanted
to donate and help. It feels good to know
that you have the support of the communi
ty around you."
The Style Bar by Jennifer Kaye is open
by appointment only on Monday; from 9
a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday;
from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday through
Saturday; and open for reservations only
on Sunday.

The players anxiously await the next letter to be called during the game
Recreation center's
annual bingo game
helps families in need
BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY
THE CHRONICLE
The Thanksgiving sea
son is upon us, and it's time
for the turkey and all the
trimmings. For some fami
lies, a Thanksgiving meal is
not a given. To help fami
lies in need, the Carl H.
Russell Sr. Recreation
Center held its annual
"Bingo for Turkeys" on
Friday night, Nov. 18.
The center has held this
event for the past 23 years.
It was sponsored by
Winston-Salem Recreation
and Paries, Carver Senior
Citizens Club, 30th district
class of Prince Hall
Masons, Phi Beta Sigma
Fraternity, Food Lion and
Swing Phi Swing Social
Fellowship.
Carl Russell director
Ben Piggott says this event
started while he was the
director at the William C.
Sims recreation center and
has grown year after year.
To participate, the only
requirement is to bring
three canned goods per
player. Those canned
goods in turn will be donat
ed to Second Harvest Food
Bank.
"This program is to
bring the community and
folks outside of the com
munity in for a chance to
win food and help others
that are in distress by
donating canned goods,"
Piggott said. "This came
out of people wanting to
give to other people. Many
I
folks need help during the
Thanksgiving holiday, and
everybody deserves the
right to eat."
"Food Lion, along with
my good friend Garland
Scarborough, have made a
major contribution. Food
Lion has been giving to this
program since I was at
Happy Hill. Food Lion
really believes in reaching
Piggott
out to people and giving to
folks in need."
There were 23 turkeys,
14 chickens, nine Cornish
hens and four hams that
were up for grabs during
the bingo night. It was a
nice turnout from those in
the community trying to
win food for the holiday.
One of the winners of a
turkey, Bernice Whitley,
said "It's a great experience
that the recreation center is
having for us, and I'm very
appreciative to have won a
turkey tonight."
Another winner, Tahara
Moore, added "This is my
first time attending this
event, and I'm very excited
4
to have won the turkey
because it's something I
could really use, since this
is my first Thanksgivings
back at home in nine
years."
Piggott and the staff
from the rec center wanted
to thank all of those that
helped put the event togeth
er, such as the Turner fami
ly, Anderson High School
Class of 1969, Jamie
Wilkes Trophies and
Awards, Carl H. Russell
Sittercise class, Ronald
Cauthen, Torry Myers,
Terry Myers, Jean Allen,
Dottie Jordan and the
Winston-Salem Chronicle.
Prince Hall Mason John
Lewis said, "First and fore
most, I used to work here at
Carl Russell and I have
seen the kids coming here
and not wanting to go home
because they have no food
to go home to, so it's all
about me giving as much as
I can, whether it be time or
money, if need be. It's been
instilled in me since I was a
kid to always help others as
much as possible."
William Royston, direc
tor of Recreation and Parks
of Winston-Salem, said it's
great when people have
small ideas and they devel
op into things much greater
that impact the community.
He commended the staff
members at Carl Russell
for their tireless commit
ment to helping the com
munity.
