A Totally Tubular Trip Back To The ’80s Milanof-Schock Benefit Auction Set For Sept. 22 By Chelsea Peifer
Every year organizers brainstorm and vote on a theme for the MilanofSchock Library Benefit Auction, and this year they landed on co-chair Connie Hajioannou’s favorite decade: the ’80s. “I love the ’80s. We’re going to have music from the ’80s and a gigantic TV screen in the entryway so it’s like you’re entering the ’80s,” explained Hajioannou. Decor and giveaways to align with the totally gnarly, righteous, and radical decade are also planned. “Part of the mission of and vision of the library is connecting the dots between the library and community, so
we’ll have Pac-Man posters detailing how the library does this,” added co-chair Kim Beach. The 16th annual benefit auction will take place from 5:30 to 9 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 22, at The Gathering Place, 6 Pine St., Mount Joy. A served dinner will include entrée choices of beef medallions, chicken cordon bleu, or mushroom ravioli with brown butter sauce. Silent and live auctions will feature a selection of items and experiences including skydiving, beverage tastings, sporting event tickets, gift cards to area attractions and eateries, children’s bicycles, home décor, jewelry, and more. John Hess will once again volunteer his time to serve as auctioneer for the live auction, which will offer 50 items. Hajioannou noted that all of the items up for bids will be brand-new.
