Spring Soiree May 18 to raise funds for Tryon Youth Center

Published 11:31am Friday, May 4, 2012

The community is invited to a benefit for Tryon Youth Center on Friday, May 18 at 5:30 p.m. to be held at the youth center, located on Hwy. 176 West in the Pacolet Valley.
Sponsored by the Foothills Duplicate Bridge Club, “A Spring Soiree” (translation: “A big party) will include cocktails and appetizers, an Italian-inspired dinner catered by La Bella Tavola, both silent and live auctions and music by both John Memory and the Sue Wilson group.
Items for both the silent and live auctions have been donated by members of the bridge club and others and will be on display at Tryon Youth Center prior to the event on Thursday, May 10 and Friday, May 11 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Sherril Wingo, chairman of the fundraiser, said, “We want everyone to know that all cash contributions (except entry tickets) raised during this benefit will be matched up to $10,000 by an anonymous donor and are 100-percent tax deductible, so we hope the community will be generous. And if you can’t come to the party, your entire donation amount will be doubled because of donor support.”
For tickets or to make a contribution to Tryon Youth Center, please call Sherril Wingo at 828-817-1668.  For more general information, email tryonyouthcenter@gmail.com.
