The Sky Valley Garden Club invites you to its signature fundraising gala, “An Enchanted Evening – Dahlias by the Lake,” on Tuesday, September 16, from 5:30 to 7:30 P.M. at the Sky Valley Clubhouse. Tickets are $60 per person and include food, drink, live music, and access to a dazzling silent auction. Reservations must be received by September 4.
This beloved annual celebration raises funds for the beautification of Sky Valley and scholarships for Rabun County students pursuing horticulture and environmental studies. Thanks to community support, the Garden Club currently sponsors three scholars, each receiving $3,000 to further their education and bring their talents back to the region.
Guests will be treated to a complimentary glass of bubbly, one drink ticket, and a festive cash bar. Blue Jazz will provide the evening’s soundtrack, while appetizers and beverages flow freely. The silent auction features an eclectic mix of treasures—gift baskets, jewelry, pottery, artwork, handcrafted items, golf rounds, wine, and gift cards to local attractions and restaurants.
But the true magic lies in the setting.
“It’s a lovely evening with wonderful food, music, and beautiful dahlias raised by the Garden Club,” says Joy Akin, longtime member and past president.
Fellow member Cheryl Beckert adds, “It’s a beautiful evening, overlooking the lake and watching a glorious sunset, amidst the dahlias.”
Founded in 1990, the Sky Valley Garden Club has spent 35 years cultivating beauty and community. Its members – local residents and property owners—gather monthly for lunch, guest speakers, and hands-on gardening projects. Their efforts have transformed public spaces and inspired a new generation of environmental stewards.
“Dahlias by the Lake” is more than a fundraiser –It’s a celebration of shared purpose, blooming friendships, and the enduring charm of Sky Valley.
