Family evening of Bunco in Dayton to benefit scholarship fund

The chance to play Bunco while raising money to send local students to college is being offered on March 11 in Dayton.

Soroptimist International of the Comstock is hosting a family evening of Bunco at the Dayton Senior Center, 320 Old Dayton Valley Road.

Monies raised go toward scholarships for students from area high schools and one to assist a woman who is the head of her household and returning to school.

The all-ages event starts at 7; doors open at 6:30 p.m. Snacks will be provided and a no-host bar will be on hand with beer, wine and soda.

Tickets are $15 in advance. For reservations, call Sharon at 775-246-1630.
