The 4th annual fundraising dinner for the Academy of Environmental Science was a pleasant event that was enjoyed by the 72 attendees present. The fundraiser was held September 22rd at the West Citrus Elks Club in Homosassa. A social hour/cash bar, and a silent auction preceded the dinner held at for 7:00 pm. After dinner, Dr. Mary Jo Koroly, Director of the University of Florida Center for Pre collegiate Education and Training, and a faculty member of UF College of Medicine, gave an interesting and informative presentation entitled School – University Partnerships: Investing in Our Future.
Pre- and post-dinner entertainment was provided by a local favorite group, the Steel of the Night Band. Special guests at the dinner included County Commissioner Joyce Valentino and State Representative Ron Schultz. The fundraiser generated approximately $2,500 to help the Academy to continue to grow its school population, facilities, and curriculum for Citrus County youth. The success of the fundraiser is due to the more than 25 individuals and businesses that purchased tables and donated items for the silent auction, and the Academy of Environment Science board members and staff who volunteered their time to organize the event.
