The Zionsville Optimist Club and the Boys and Girls Club of Zionsville are teaming up to present “Taste of Spring,” a fundraiser benefiting both organizations, from 5 to 8 p.m. April 24.
The event will be held at the Lions Clubhouse, at 115 South Elm St. There will be wine and beer provided by Grapevine Cottage, Fountain Square Brewing Company, Flat 12 and Sun King. Attendees can also enjoy light hors d’oeuvres and a silent auction comprised of sports memorabilia and other items donated by local merchants.
Those who attend the “Taste of Spring” will also receive a voucher to eat dinner at one of eight restaurants that have been named “10/10 Dining Partners” for the evening. These places are offering a 10 percent discount on the cost of the meal and subsequently donate 10 percent of that cost back to the cause.
These restaurants include: Cobblestone Grill, Patrick’s Kitchen, Greek’s Pizzeria, Noah Grant’s, Salty Cowboy, The Friendly Tavern, Stone Creek Dining and The Loft at Traders Point Creamery.
Both of these organizations work to provide services that shape youth in the Zionsville area.
The Zionsville Optimist Club serves the community through activities that work to develop youth. They promote teamwork, leadership and education to form respected leaders that have a responsibility to the community and a desire to help shape future generations.
The Boys & Girls Club helps youth in the area develop the skills, fitness and character they need to reach their full potential as productive, caring and responsible citizens.
There are two sessions offered at Taste of Spring to accommodate as many people as possible. An early session will take place from 5 to 6:30 p.m. and a later session from 6:30 to 8 p.m.
All attendees must be 21 years or older. Tickets are $25 when purchased in advance or $30 at the door. Tickets can be purchased at bagcoz.org.
