02-22 Zonta Club dinner
Ooops! to be featured play at Zonta Club murder mystery dinner March 8
YAKIMA – Murder mystery buffs and community members looking to support a good cause…it’s time for the Zonta Club’s annual murder mystery dinner and auction.
The Zonta Club, a service club in Yakima, will be featuring its annual murder mystery dinner and auction Saturday, March 8.
The dinner and auction is the club’s only fundraising event held each year.
Funds from the event are used in projects such as the postpartum depression program at Sunnyside Community Hospital, promoting Comprehensive Mental Health’s Strong Families program and donations to Nuestra Casa.
This year’s murder mystery play, titled Ooops!, centers around a group of people attending a gathering in Yakima. The Yakima sheriff must solve the murder of one of the hit people, who was shot at the gathering. Unfortunately, everyone wants credit for the murder because they are professional people.
Drawings will be held throughout the evening, with the grand prize drawing for a diamond and gold ring worth $4,200 donated by Dunbar Jewelers.
Live auction items include a five-night stay at a vacation home in Orlando, Fla; dinner and wine for eight in the home of the winning bidder featuring Chef Wil Masset of Birchfield Manor Restaurant and a three-carat amethyst cocktail ring appraised at more than $1,000.
The deadline for ticket purchases is Monday, March 3. The cost per ticket is $50 and they can be purchased by contacting Mary Lou at 509-575-0282 or via the club’s website at www.zontayakima.org.
More information regarding the 5:30 p.m. dinner and auction can also be obtained through the club’s website.
