Kiwanis KornyKopia promises $1,500 cash, many other prizes

Promising an evening of fun while generating dollars for its charitable work in the community, the Kiwanis Club of Dillon is planning its second annual fall social and benefit event for Saturday, Sept. 26, at the Lewis and Clark Room at University of Montana Western.

The Kiwanis KornyKopia, a “fun raiser”, features dinner for two and the opportunity to win as much as $1,500 in cash, or any one of a large number of prizes, which will be awarded through the drawing of all 100 tickets during the course of the evening. Besides the big cash award, ticket holders will have the chance to win such things as $500 cash, a day of fishing, a grocery shopping spree, rounds of golf or even a cord of firewood.

A limited number of tickets for the event are still available from members of the Dillon Kiwanis Club and at the Dillon Tribune. For more information, persons may contact Hilton at 683-4992 or Crockford at 683-2331 or 683-2143.

Some of the programs supported by the event are the Key Club at Beaverhead County High School, BUG (Bring Up Grades) at the Dillon elementary schools, the Court-Appointed Special Advocates program, emergency backpacks for children and “trauma dolls” for children in medical emergencies.
