5th Annual Ugly Bug Ball and Silent Auction

The Fifth Annual Ugly Bug Ball and Silent Auction, scheduled for Oct. 1 at the Center for the Environment facility on the Catawba College campus, will highlight the theme, “Stay Local, Go Green, Reuse, Recycle.”  It will feature a local farm-fresh dinner buffet as well as live music and dancing.

Marianna Swaim and Kim Etters, co-chairs of the Ugly Bug Ball Planning Committee, and the committee members have worked for months to ensure that the fifth anniversary event will be a gala occasion. “We are continuing our local theme,” Swaim says. “We are trying to challenge ourselves as well as everyone else to basically rethink our world and the way we use our resources. We want to be good stewards of our world and secure the future for those coming along.”

Proceeds from the event support the ongoing activities of the Center, value-added education for Catawba students and the Center’s outreach to the region, including the Campaign for Clean Air.

Tickets are $65 per person. Groups of eight are $60 per person. For more information or to make reservations, visit www.centerfortheenvironment.org or contact Cathy Holladay at chollada@catawba.edu or 704.637.4727
