Vashon Community Scholarship Foundation is abuzz planning Spell It! 2015.  This annual benefit event helps raise scholarship funds for Vashon Island School District graduating seniors. The ninth annual VCSF sponsored Spelling Bee will be held at 7 PM on Saturday, February 7 at Camp Burton. Come join the cross generational fun!

    This is a spelling bee... and so much more! Teens and adults are invited to register with 1-3 members on each team. Teams are encouraged to dress up and participate in the costume competition. Costume winners are determined by audience vote. Enjoy good food. Compete in the drawing for door prizes. Chase away those winter doldrums with an evening of fun in support of a great community tradition for our young scholars.

    The entry fee for spelling bee participants is $50/team member.  Some scholarships are available so the entry fee should not be a deterrent to participation. Tickets are available for sale at Vashon Book Shop and will be available at the door on February 7, $15 for adults and $10 for children and seniors. To register as a spelling participant, forms are available at The Vashon Book Shop or contact Barbara Gustafson at 206-463-1638 or via email:  rggbdg@yahoo.com
