October 14th will be here before you know it.  That’s the date for the Community Center’s biennial fundraising event.  More than a way to support the historic building in the County Park, it’s a major social gathering.  To provide expanded room, it’s being held this year at another iconic building, the Clark Lake Yacht Club.

The event starts at 5:30 pm on Saturday, October 14.  As the Oktoberfest theme suggests, German fare is on the menu–authentic wurst and chicken schnitzel, potato salad, a variety of cheeses, pretzels and dessert.  BYOB.  The Persuaders, a local band, will entertain.  Tickets are $50 per person and are available by calling John Deming at 529-9117 or John Karkheck at 745-2929.

If that isn’t enough, you may want to do bid for some very cool things.
