The Boardman-Poland Junior Women’s League invites the public to join members for its Third Annual St. Patrick’s Day Celebration from 6:30 to 11 p.m. March 10 at St. Nicholas Social Hall, 764 5th St.

The $25 ticket entitles the holder to traditional Irish fare, dancing to DJ Tune Weavers, basket auction, silent auction and a 50-50 raffle.

Proceeds from the event will be donated to Jimmy Sutman’s The Golden String for Purple Cat.

Golden String provides a safe environment for adults with developmental disorders, physical disabilities and mental illness. It provides education, vocational skills and daily living skills.

Purple Cat provides access to social outlets that are often enjoyed by community members who don’t have disabilities, such as camping, overnight vacations, religious activities, community parties and athletic events.

Those who want to help can purchase tickets, donate a gift or service for the basket or silent auctions, make a monetary contribution or become a corporate sponsor.

For information call Yvonne Ford, event chairwoman, at 330-718-2013. Tickets can be obtained from Ford or from Denise Statler at 330-540-7966.
