PUZZLE MANIA FUNDRAISER FOR FRIENDS OF MUSIC
Everyone is invited to participate in the Friends of Music’s Fourth Annual “Puzzle Mania” jigsaw puzzle competition in Shepherdstown the afternoon of Sunday, February 24.
The event will be a fundraiser for the Friends and its Two Rivers Chamber Orchestra.
This year’s event will be held again at the Shepherd University Wellness Center, on the West Campus. This means parking will be easy: no need to hunt around the town for parking spaces.
It will be held from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m.
The event will be organized much the same way as last year. We can take up to 25 teams of four persons each. Most teams will start with the same 500-piece jigsaw puzzle and battle with all the other teams to complete the puzzle first. But this time, in an effort to level the playing field, teams that have run circles around everybody else in past years (you know who you are!) will get a larger puzzle to solve in the same time period. The winning team will be honored with a trophy.
We’re looking for 25 people to act as table hosts and recruit their own four-person teams from friends, neighbors or family members. The fee to participate will be $25 per person or $100 per team. Organizations and businesses can sponsor teams if they want. Ticket prices will be tax deductible.
If you’d like to participate but don’t have time to recruit your own team or seek one out, let us know (see “contact Heather Marshall” below) and we’ll do our best to find a table for you.
As before, we want this to be fun, light-hearted event. It will be family-friendly, and children 10 and older will be welcome as team members. Light refreshments will be served.
You and your tablemates can purchase tickets on the Friends of Music website at www.friendswv.org. Questions? Contact Heather Marshall at heathermmarshall63@gmail.com or 304-582-9998. Ticket prices will be tax deductible. CLICK HERE FOR TICKETS.
