Annual Sweets for a Sweetie Auction & Fundraiser

On Sunday, February 18, The Cove youth group will be hosting Village’s annual Sweets for a Sweetie auction and fundraiser! Sweets for a Sweetie will be slightly after Valentine’s Day this year. But this means if you find yourself in a position of having forgotten to get your sweetie a Valentine’s gift, you’ll have a good excuse! You were just waiting to get them something at the auction, right?

The Cove Art Show Fundraiser

The Cove youth group cordially invites you to a night of sophistication and class tomorrow, Wednesday, January 31, at 6:00 PM. At such time, there will be a most exquisite gallery of some of the finest modern art available to purchase, accompanied by an array of exotic delectables. Please mark your planners accordingly. We look forward to your presence during this fine occasion.
