February 9 from 4-8 pm

Join us on Tuesday, February 9 from 4 pm to 8 pm. This year’s new, elegant location is The Waters Edge Lighthouse banquet facility, located at 2 Freemans Bridge Road in Glenville, just around the corner from the shelter. (www.thewatersedgelighthouse.com) The event features literally thousands of pieces of new and pre-owned jewelry. The huge collection includes vintage, costume, prom and wedding pieces, as well as fine jewelry, all priced to sell. Guests are also invited to bring their unwanted or broken silver or gold jewelry, coins, tea sets, or flatware to donate to the shelter. Sondra and her son Anthony from Sondra's Fine Jewelry will be on hand to appraise and accept the pieces. The APF will provide receipts upon request for tax-deduction purposes. All those who make donations valued at $20 or more, or who make a $20 cash donation, will be entered in a drawing to win a beautiful sterling silver with diamonds paw pendant, valued at $400, made just for this event by Sondra’s Fine Jewelry. In addition, custom designed sterling paw pendants with blue or pink topaz will be available for purchase, with a portion of the proceeds to benefit the APF. There will also be raffles galore, complimentary champagne and chocolates and some really fun surprises, plus a cash bar. Admission is $3 per person. All proceeds will support the APF’s animal sheltering, adoption and spay/neuter programs. Call 374-3944, ext. 119 for more info. We are accepting jewelry donations through February 2. Help spread the word about this unique and fun event. It all goes to help the animals. For more information, call 374-3944, ext. 119. For a downloadable flyer, click here.
