Last Week of Ticket Sales for GDEF’s Bet Your Lucky Stars! Event

Ticket sales are well underway for GDEF’s “Bet Your Lucky Stars!” dinner dance, auction and raffle. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to have a great evening and benefit the schools at the same time! The event will feature mouthwatering fare with entrée choice of tender beef medallions in a burgundy mushroom sauce or seared breast of chicken with a light lemon pepper seasoning. Then Jeff Pitchell and Texas Flood will kick the party into high gear - visit GDEF’s website at www.gdefinc.org to hear clips of the band’s award-winning brand of bluesy rock!

Silent and live auctions will feature some very special items, including golf equipment and outings; Red Sox tickets; fine crafts from area artisans; a Chocolate Lover’s basket; a publicity tour and visit to WROR’s Loren and Wally Show; a guitar signed by the band; vacation week and summer camps; Indian Hill Orchestra tickets; portrait photography packages; a selection of fine wines; gift certificates for area fine dining and more. If you have a unique item that you would like to donate as an auction item for this worthy cause, please contact Janet Sheffield by email at jsheffield@gdefinc.org or by phone at (978) 448-5591.

The event will also mark the official launch of GDEF’s “Bet Your Lucky Stars!” money raffle, with cash prizes of $5,000, $2,500 and $1,000. Raffle Chair Cheryl Smith says, “Only 400 tickets will be sold, so chances of winning are better than 1 in 134 - better odds than the lottery, and you can’t really lose because proceeds benefit our kids!” Three lucky winners will be chosen on Thursday, May 25th.

Dinner ticket sales close Friday, March 10th - order now so you don’t miss this fabulous evening! Ticket order forms are available at www.gdefinc.org, Moison Ace Hardware on Main Street in Groton, and the Dunstable Free Public Library in Dunstable. Dinner dance tickets are $60.00 per person, and can also be ordered on-line using a credit card through GDEF’s website at www.gdefinc.org. Raffle tickets are $50.00; they can be ordered now or bought at the event. Orders may be dropped at either of the locations above. Complete details on the event are on the website.

So come out and have some fun, and help our children “Reach for the Stars” while doing it!
