Event Description: A one and only special evening “A Chocolate Affair” will celebrate the Valentine Season. The popular event will be held Saturday, February 9, 2013 at 6:00pm in the main building at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds on Placerville Drive, Placerville, Ca. The two local clubs of Soroptimist International: Cameron Park/El Dorado Hills and Placerville will co-host the event, which benefits women, children, families, scholarships and grants. Dave Bender, Channel 13’s charming weatherman, will emcee. Attendees are treated to samplings of delicious foods from generous local restaurants, caterers, bakeries and chocolatiers. More than a dozen wineries will be pouring tastings of delectable El Dorado County wines. Local brewers will provide samples of their wares. All present will have the opportunity to bid at the silent as well as the live auction. This year’s event will afford the opportunity to bid on a Safari Dinner at a residence which features Smithsonian-like hunting trophies and a collection of fine wines. The two Soroptimist clubs raised over $28,000.00 at last year’s event. Proceeds are divided between the two clubs for distribution back into the community. Past contributions have included, Women’s Opportunity Award; for returning students, Ruby Award; for community service, Violet Richardson Award; for citizenship ,Center for Violence Free Relationships, Senior Center, Prom Boutique, Helping Hands Funds, Tech Trek scholarships, Because You’re Special, Show N Shine Fly-In, Regional Sex-Trafficking Awareness, Community Grant Award Program, scholarships for graduating seniors and other worthy community projects. Tickets are $30 in advance and $35 at the door, subject to availability. Pre-sale ends at Noon on 2/8/2013. Tickets are available at many locations throughout El Dorado County which will be published in the local newspaper.
