Greenville, OH. – Greenville Business & Professional Women’s Club (BPW) guests and members attended the popular annual guest night “Fall Into a Night of Giving” event on October 9th. Those attending enjoyed shopping, special raffles, a silent auction and an awesome taco bar which was held at the Greenville Elks Club in Greenville. Many silent auction items were available for bidding along with shopping at various vendor tables. Several door prizes were given out and a 50/50 raffle drawing was held, and the winner was Barb Deis who donated over $400 back to our Club for the scholarship program.. In addition two super raffles were held. A two night stay in a Brown County, IN cabin (Bittersweet), donated by Deb and Gene Niekamp, won by Krista Unger and a cooler full of meat donated by Ketring Meats of New Madison with Julie Hart claiming the winning ticket. This successful evening brought in around $10,000 to reserve for the scholarship fund for the young women of Darke County.
Committee chairs Stacy Sykes and Alexia Sykes along with committee members, Hallie Foureman, Terra Denniston, Delores Sleppy, Jodie Anderson, Joelle York and Vicki Cost hosted the evening. BPW President Sykes thanked all that attended and spoke about BPW’s mission and fundraisers held throughout the year.
