Last Chance to "Do The Dewey" in 2010!

When's the last time you walked into the Library and someone asked you if you'd like some pizza? If your answer is "Never!" or "How strange!" then you need to buy your ticket and get here on Saturday, April 24, 2010, for the 8th annual "Do The Dewey" fundraiser!

I've told you before but it's worth telling you again: "Do The Dewey" is a fundraiser shared by the Des Plaines Public Library and the Rotary Club of Des Plaines. For a $35 ticket, you receive:

• Unlimited soft drinks, beer and wine;
• Unlimited "finger food," from appetizers to desserts, most of it donated by our fine local restaurants;
• Fabulous live jazz, pop, blues and more from Jazz Couture, featuring the soulful saxophone of Nick Bisesi and the sassy stylings of vocalist Gayle Bisesi;
• FUN, interactive lessons in everything from tai chi, Bollywood-style dancing, flower arranging, bonsai and Chinese calligraphy;
• They just broke ground at the Des Plaines casino - start brushing up on your gaming techniques NOW with John Grochowski, Sun-Times columnist and "Casino Answer Man";
• If the free food spread doesn't fill you up, try free samples of exotic teas and Capanarri's ice cream;
• Find out what your handwriting - and your aura - say about you;
• Try your luck for raffle and silent auction prizes.

It's three hours of pure entertainment and relaxation, for a low price, for two great causes. Come on out this Saturday night - buy tickets in advance at the Library registration desk or buy them online. The ticket price goes up to $40 at the door, so buy today and we hope to see you there!
