The Coupeville Lions Club is gearing up for its Lions Scholarship Auction and Dinner next month.

In its 10th year, the annual auction raised and awarded nearly $175,000 in scholarships for Coupeville High School senior.

This year’s event is 5-8:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 13, at the Oak Harbor Elks Lodge.

Tickets are $35 per person and include a full meal prepared by the Elks and served by Coupeville High School National Honor Society students and Coupeville Leos.

Attendees will have a selection of wine, beer, and cheese and crackers provided by bayleaf.

For dessert, the highest bidding table chooses from among an assortment of cakes, pies and other delicious desserts.

During dessert, auctioneer Dale Sherman and his side-kick, Bob Clay, will pry any remaining money from already generous guests.
