To the editor:

On Sunday, May 26 from 4-7 p.m., Tryon Estates will host Lennie’s Kids Gala for the second year in a row.

Last year was a smashing success and many of my kids were helped through your efforts. This year will be the sixth-annual event and Lennie’s Kids needs donations.

All those who have goods or services to donate for our auction, please contact me at 828-859-5835 or any other way, I am easy to find.

Tickets will be $20 each and well worth it. Order early, I expect to sell out this year.

There will be a reminder and further information each month.

Don’t miss this very special event, it means so much to me and my precious kids.

God bless.
