Homemade Pies and a Silent Auction Round Off "Dinner and a Movie" Fundraiser
to Send FBLA Students to National Competition

 

Local grandmothers are rolling up their sleeves to bake some delectable homemade pies for FBLA's "Dinner and a Movie" fundraiser. On Saturday, June 26, 2010, FBLA students and parents will be serving a spaghetti dinner with an abundance of homemade pie at the Highland School cafeteria from 5:30 to 6:45. Diners can also participate in a silent auction for one night's stay in a King Spa Suite at the Best Western Salbasgeon Inn, a $50 gift certificate for Bedrock's Restaurant, or a stunning 3-piece ceramic fish. The dinner is followed by a special showing of the movie "Avatar" at 7:00 in the Pacific Auditorium.

 

The entire event costs only $10 per person, and all proceeds go toward supporting the four Reedsport Community Charter School students who will be traveling to Nashville, Tennessee, in July to compete in the Future Business Leaders of America national competition. Admission to the movie only is by donation.

 

Tickets can be purchased at the Reedsport Community Charter School office, Les Schwab Tires, Reedsport Pharmacy, Bedrock's, or by calling 541-271-4064.
