The Rotary Club of Kent is gearing up for its big event of the year: the annual Escapades Dinner and Charity Auction.

Billed as Kent’s oldest and largest annual charity auction, this year’s event takes place May 22 at the Kent ShoWare Center.

Tickets are $65 per person, and the admission includes dinner and the opportunity to participate in multiple auction formats, from silent to live. Auctions start at 5 p.m., and dinner is served at 7 p.m.

Funds raised from the event go to support Kent Rotary’s many community activities, including those involving youths and schools.

There’s a vast number of items up for bid in this year’s event.

Everything from summer nights at Crystal Mountain Heights, to a simulator flight, a day with King County Search Dogs, a Whidbey Island weekend getaway - even the chance to “Rent a Rotarian.”

To learn more, or to buy tickets, go online to www.kentrotary.com.

The annual Escapades Dinner and Auction is the only fundraising event of the Kent Rotary Club. Organizers are hoping to raise more than $100,000 for club projects.
