Themed tables will feature hand-crafted jewelry, artwork, linens, housewares, baskets, purses, games, books, CDs/DVDs and other items.
Experiences up for bid will include an equestrian “Dancing with Horses” freestyle competition event, a summer dinner for eight to 10 people, high tea for six, two tickets to the Wearable Art Show, two tickets to the Key City Playhouse, massages, facials, weeding assistance and genealogy sessions.
The Duck Pond Trio, featuring local musicians Tony Petrillo, Jim Oliver and Dirk Anderson, will provide musical entertainment ranging from swing and jazz to blues and bebop.
AAUW Port Townsend and its affiliate, the University Women’s Foundation of Jefferson County, promote education and equity through scholarships, middle school career days and elementary school projects in literacy and math.
In 2016, AAUW/UWF gave more than $49,000 in scholarships and awards to young women in East Jefferson County and sent eight middle school girls to Tech Trek, a weeklong science and math summer camp.
