It’s getting to be that time of year – glittery decorations, holiday sweaters, and of course the Lopez Island Hospice and Home Support Jingle Bell Dinner.

Bring your family and guests to the sixth annual Jingle Bell Dinner Saturday, Nov. 29, 6 p.m. at the Lopez Community Center – a great time for a great cause.

Experience elegant food and wine by Kristin and Tim Shea of The Bay. Enjoy holiday entertainment by Ginni Keith and Gary Alexander. And make your holiday shopping easy this year with gifts and experiences at the Silent Auction.

Tickets are $50, available exclusively at Paper Scissors on the Rock. All proceeds from the Jingle Bell Dinner will benefit Lopez Island Hospice and Home Support.

“The Jingle Bell Dinner is our major fundraiser for the year,” said Elizabeth Landrum, president of the Lopez Island Hospice and Home Support board of directors. “We hope to attract a lot of Lopezians who are in a festive and of course generous mood.”

This year special emphasis has been placed on acquiring great items for the silent auction, including dinners, a cruise for two on Spike Africa out of Friday Harbor, a portrait of your pet by world-renowned artist Marc Grant, and a stunning glass sculpture by Gerry Newcomb. “We’ve had a lot of fun collecting auction items this year, and people have been so generous,” said Jennifer Krajack, chair of the Auction Committee. “We’re hoping people bid high to benefit this worthy cause.”

“We plan to sell out again this year,” said Landrum. “Get your tickets early.”

Lopez Island Hospice and Home Support has provided the Lopez community with professional case management, chore and respite service, caregiver and loss support groups, durable medical equipment loans, and a resource library for caregivers since 1997. All services are offered free of charge.
