Don't Bee Late - Sign up for 4th Annual Spelling Bee

Time is running out to sign up to participate in the fourth annual Friends of the Scarsdale Library Adult and Teen Spelling Bee. Teams of up to three individuals compete for prizes and recognition as the community's premier spellers. Spots are filling quickly, and the entry deadline is December 31st. Application forms are available at the Library or online at http://www.scarsdalelibrary.org/friends. Returning teams are looking for competition from challengers, who must be in high school and/or adults. The competition promises to be keen, with audience members spelling along quietly or cheering for their favorite team to win the grand prize.

Besides the etymological main event, the evening's fun will include raffles and a silent auction. Notable auction items this year include a 64GB iPad Air with Verizon cellular capability, valued at $890, and an eight-week SAT prep course offered by TestTakers and valued at $1995.

The Spelling Bee will take place on Friday, January 31st at 7:30 P.M. in the Scarsdale High School Auditorium. Proceeds from the Spelling Bee will be used to upgrade the Library's lobby and entryway.
