Events at the Village

FUNdraiser for Women's Resource Center

Is the winter weather finally getting you down? Are you ready to consider a trip to St. Cyprien
in the Dordogne Valley in Southern France – or how about a weekend at the Beaver Island Lodge – or a
guided tour down a local river – or a week at a beautiful cottage on Burt Lake – or how about some
salmon fishing? Any of those sound like fun?

What about having two “paisans”, WRC Executive Director, Jan Mancinelli and her long-time friend,
Joe D’Italia, cook you and 7 of your best paisans, a multi-course, authentic Italian dinner served at the
D’Italia home overlooking Little Traverse Bay! I suspect some nice Italian wine and dessert may also
be on the menu, as well as car service to and from dinner.

Those are just a few of the items that will be available for bid during the Live Auction portion of this
relaxing, FUNdraiser for the WRC. Grab a few friends and come join us at cava in Bay Harbor on St.
Patrick’s Day, Wednesday, March 17, 2010 – and you might just end the evening planning one of
those great trips.

The fun starts at 6pm with light hors d’oeurves, music, cash bar and a Silent Auction with lots of
additional items. Then the Live Auction will kick off at 7:30pm.

Tickets cost $10 per person and are available at the door or by calling 231-347-0067.

So:
get your green on –
grab your lucky 4 leaf clover –
liberate your inner leprechaun –
and come look for your pot of gold (or
mug of good Irish Guinness) on March 17th.

cava will also be serving their dinner menu that evening until 10pm for those of you who would like to
continue the celebration or have a little heartier sustenance.
