$25 in advance, $35 at the door.
Last week we sent a letter to all local organizations (service clubs, PTAs, Boy & Girl Scouts, neighborhood associations, and just about every other Maplewood organization listed on the library's website, http://www.maplewoodlibrary.org/org.html). If you buy your ticket thru one of those organizations, we'll donate back to it $10 for every ticket it sells.
You will also be able to buy thru participating restaurants.
Of course, you can always buy thru the Lions. If so, email me, Phil Stern, at MaplewoodLions@verizon.net.
