The Giving-est Gals Around
Written By: Sophia Iler - Scaly Mountain Women's Club | Issue: 2017/06 - June
The Scaly Mountain Women’s Club is busy and running full speed.
Most of the 93 members are gathered back in the area and initiating their big fund raising events for 2017. These hard-working women are already in action, donating much of their time to raise money for their Scholarship Fund and various other community charities.
The first charity launch of 2017 is the well-known SMWC Pancake Breakfast, which opened May 27 with huge success. If you missed it, the next one is June 24 and will continue every fourth Saturday of the month through September. Breakfast is served from 7:30 until 10:30 A.M., featuring buttermilk pancakes, with or without blueberries, Blalock’s sausage, orange juice, and fresh coffee, all for only $6.
The next highly anticipated fund-raiser is the SMWC Annual Auction and you don’t want to miss it. The Auction Committee, chaired by Barbara Bannon, has announced “Diamonds and Denim” as its theme for this year’s auction. It will be held on Sunday, July 16, at the Sky Valley Country Club starting at 6:00 P.M. The event will include both a silent and live auction; in addition to perennial favorites such as golf and adventure packages, tickets to professional sporting events, and private group dinners, there will be some amazing new items – Murder Mystery Dinner, vacation packages including a European River Cruise for two, a Hunting Camp for six in Argentina, a Three-Night Stay on a private island including airfare, and much more. Tickets are $50 per person, which includes a complimentary glass of wine and a fantastic offering of hors d’oeuvres; a fully- stocked cash bar will be available. Tickets are limited and already selling fast.
To purchase Diamond and Denim tickets or to donate high quality items for the auction, please contact Barbara Bannon at [email protected].
The proceeds raised support the club’s Scholarship Fund, which helps local students fulfill their educational dreams. The club is a non-profit 501(c)3 corporation and donations are tax deductible.
