Imagine a beach party in Nevada County … in November.
Well, count on it, dudes, because the Gold Country Kiwanis Club is having its annual Beach Party Dance and Hawaiian Luau on Friday. The bash includes live music by the Sgt. Funky band, auctions, Hawaiian food and a no-host bar.
You'll be able to dance, eat, drink and hobnob with your neighbors and friends. There will be gifts to bid on, including a 49ers ticket package, a Lake Tahoe condo vacation and gourmet dinners.
All proceeds go to the annual Kiwanis Back to School program where at-need local children are walked through the K-Mart store on McKnight Way in Grass Valley and, with the help of an adult, can pick whatever school clothes they need. They are also given coats, backpacks and school supplies to get them started on the right foot.
“The event is very important to the schools,” said Grass Valley Schools Supt. Jon Byerrum. “It allows 55 kids a year who are mostly in the kindergarten to fifth grade level to come to school well-dressed and warm in the winter -- to fit into the classroom.”
Byerrum said funding for events like this have greatly diminished. “These are difficult times for many families. The Kiwanis club came through at the exactly the right time for us.”
The Beach Party event will be held in the Foundry's Stone Hall, which will be decorated with a beach theme and include the Sgt. Funky band playing the hits of the 60s you forgot you liked. Tickets are $35, which includes a Hawaiian dinner.
Gold Country Kiwanis sponsors events during the year to raise money for programs to benefit local children and young adults.
“Anyone who has helped these children on this ‘shopping day' knows the joy in their eyes,” said Robert Crabb, president of the Gold Country Kiwanis. “Help us make these children's school days a little brighter.”
