A few items at the fundraiser are from Linda's Flower Fashions and Gifts and Glassworks, as well as "Grey Lady in Red," a pastel by Cory Jaeger, and Tiger Quilt by Vicky Thorpe.February, a month which traditionally represents love and romance, is once again time for the YWCA's benefit to aid in the fight of domestic violence.
The annual fundraiser is next Friday, Feb. 21, according to Kate Weiss, YWCA director of Women's Services.
The benefit will help support the YWCA Gateway House Domestic Violence Shelter.
February has been set aside nationally by domestic violence advocates as a time to sponsor "Love Without Fear" events, Weiss said.
Over 800 women and children found safety at Gateway House in 1996 and another 3,000 found support through the 24-hour crisis line and support groups. Sponsors of the Feb. 21 event at the Y, 909 Wyoming, are the Heights Exchange Club of Billings, the Junior Women's Club, Women in Construction, and Cosco.
All proceeds from the auction go directly to providing services to victims of family violence through the YWCA Domestic Violence Program, Weiss said.
For tickets, which are $30, call (406) 252-6303 or FAX (406) 245-7867. Advance purchase is necessary to plan for the meal.
