Why do the women of the Scaly Mountain Women’s Club give their all?
Just ask any one of them and they’ll tell you it’s all about the Scholars. The SMWC’s Scholarship Fund helps residents of the Sky Valley-Scaly Mountain Fire District, living in either Macon or Rabun County, seeking assistance to advance their post high school education.
The club currently has awarded 16 full-time scholarships to local students for the Fall 2017 semester. SMWC also contributes to local organizations such as the Fire Department, the Food Pantry, and the Literacy Council of Highlands, to name a few.
We rely solely on fundraisers and donations to support our various charities, and this month all hands are on deck for our much-anticipated Annual Auction.
This grand event brings in the majority of our scholarship funds, and you won’t want to miss it! The Auction Committee, chaired by Barbara Bannon along with co-chairs Rebecca Dean, Loretta Fitt, Sherry Gailey, and Sophia Iler, is excited about the venue – Diamonds and Denim. The auction will be held at the Sky Valley Country Club on Sunday, July 16. Doors open at 6:00 P.M. and will include both a silent and live auction.
In addition to some of our perennial favorites, such as a culinary evening for 10 with Chef Tom Payne and a fantastic dinner for 12 at the beautiful home of George and Karen Powell, we’ve secured some spectacular new items – a European River Cruise for two; Hunting Camp for six in Argentina; Three-Night Stay on a private island including airfare; Tickets to the Florida-Georgia Line concert with backstage Meet and Greet; Mardi Gras Murder Mystery with a Gourmet Louisiana Dinner at the home of Jim and Laurel Walsh; Dinner for 30 by El Azteca; Admission for Four to the Tampa Aquarium, including Penguin Encounter and Dolphin Cruise; and much more.
The cost is $50 per person and includes heavy hors d‘oeuvres, one complimentary wine and live entertainment; a cash bar will be available and attire is dressy casual. Tickets are limited and going fast so get yours today; contact Barbara Bannon, by phone (828) 787-1736 or email [email protected]; or Loretta Fitt at (706) 746-7416 or by email [email protected].
