Island Girls Night Out, an opportunity to socialize, win prizes and meet new friends, was held March 2, and another one is coming up.

About 225 women turned out to MoonDoggies Gifts and Café in Port Royal, where they enjoyed music and a spread of treats and sauces that MoonDoggies carries in its gift shop.&nbsp;

There were fabulous door prizes and gift certificates from Outback Steakhouse, a kayak tour from Beaufort Lands End Tours, Guys and Dolls Salon, Halo Salon, Its Me Fashions, and Nuances of Port Royal.

MoonDoggies is now offering a bed and breakfast, while the café offers lunch and will soon have tapas and cocktails available in the evenings.

The next Island Girls Night Out will be held from 5:30-7 p.m. Thursday, March 23, at For The Birds and Gardens on 1002 Bay St.

Businesses interested in hosting an Island Girls Night Out or donating a door prize can call Irene Goodnight at 615-243-4684.

These free events are sponsored by The Island News.&nbsp;
