A fun, soup-to-nuts approach to the evening ensures this isn’t an average ho-hum fundraiser.
“The night will be a blast!” Walston says. “Yes, people can come in costume. Having a James Bond theme, I think we will see everything from tuxedos and gowns to suits and slacks and business dressy.”
During the evening’s festivities, singer Peggy Ratusz will perform a diverse repertoire of jazz, swing, and classic favorites while guests enjoy a dinner selection of salmon, prime rib, and vegetarian fare, followed by silent and live auctions and a series of high energy raffles. To acquire tickets for the event, visit http://www.rotaryasheville.org/.
The exciting range of items up for auction includes hotel gift certificates, hot air balloon rides, fine art, artisanal pottery, handmade scarves, a glass blowing class, a round of golf, a variety of wine and dine packages, a pub cycle tour, lunch or dinner at the Asheville Fire Department firehouse, an African Safari, trips near and far including diverse locales such as Philadelphia and Atlanta, a Catamaran sailing event, a menswear suit ensemble, make-your-own fine jewelry, and dinner for 8 with a private chef, among others.
“I promise it will be fun,” says Walston. “Anyone will feel comfortable if they attend.”
