The community is invited to a “Spring Fling” benefit for Tryon Youth Center on Saturday, June 22 beginning at 5:30 p.m. to be held at the youth center, located on Highway 176 West in the Pacolet Valley.

Sponsored by the Foothills Duplicate Bridge Club, the party will include an open bar, a four course dinner prepared with local seasonal ingredients catered by La Bella Tavola, a silent auction and a live band led by Sue Wilson for dancing.  Dinner tickets must be purchased by Wednesday, June 19.

All monies raised for this benefit from the auction and donations (other than the entry tickets) will be matched up to $15,000 by an anonymous donor and are 100 percent tax deductible, so if you can’t come to the party your entire donation amount will be doubled because of donor support.

Deadline to purchase tickets is Wednesday, June 19.  For more information or to purchase tickets, call Sally Jo Carter at 828-859-6780 or Linda Sherer at 828-817-9357.
