Norfolk Community League Seeks Donations for Valentine's Dance

The Norfolk Community League is gearing up for its 5th annual Valentine's Dinner Dance and Silent Auction. The event is scheduled for Saturday, February 8th, 2003 from 6:30pm to midnight at Luciano's Lake Pearl in Wrentham.

A large part of this preparation includes the solicitation of donations to be auctioned off for charity at the event. Last year's event raised a record $24,000. The funds raised during the year are distributed by NCL each January and May. Over the past six years, NCL has distributed in excess of $100,000 to various local groups such as Norfolk Library, Norfolk Fire Department, Norfolk Police Department, enrichment programs for Norfolk Public Schools, Council on Aging, Norfolk Boy Scouts, college scholarships, YMCA camp scholarships, Norfolk Little League and local preschools.

Items that have been donated in the past include: autographed baseballs, box seats, vacation cottages, restaurant certificates, home furnishings, art work, jewelry, and much more. Some of the previous generous donors include: Luciano's Restaurant, The Rome Restaurant, Home Depot, Dalzell Bros., Gerard's Bistro, Flooring America, and Kaleidoscope Kids. We are looking forward to another fun-filled, exciting evening knowing local causes will benefit in the end.

Any individual or business interested in making a donation may contact Lesley Horner at 508-528-2596 or mail the donation to NCL, P.O. Box 450, Attn.: Silent Auction, Norfolk, MA 02056. NCL is a 503(c) organization, and as such, donations are tax deductible. For more information, visit our website at www.norfolkcommunityleague.org.
