The date of Sound Learning’s Spell-
E—Bration fundraiser was changed
from early May to June because
the Shelton—based nonprofit is seek-
ing more spellers for the 28th annual
event.
Six three—member teams have
signed up for the event that features a
community spelling bee, silent auction,
dessert buffet and live music, hosted
4 to 8 p.m. June 29 at The Pavilion at
Sentry Park at the Mason County
nior Activities Center at 190 W. Sentry
Drive.
Sound Learning has plenty of spon-
sors for the teams and needs spellers
to help fill out the threesomes for hope—
fully another three or four teams, said
Shannon Klasell, the group’s executive
director.
“People say, ‘I can’t spell!’ It’s really
all in fun,” she said.
The event features light-hearted
banter between the teams and the
judges — sometimes “bribes” are of-
fered in full View Ofthe audience and
most importantly, raises money to help
adults become more literate. To join a
team for the event, call Sound Learn-
ing at 360—426-9733 or email directorflffl
soundlearningco.
The silent auction items for the
event include four tickets to a Seattle
Storm basketball game, framed art, oil
changes at Denny’s Auto Service, spa
visits at Little Creek Casino Resort
and Vance Creek Railriders tickets.
Spell-E-Bration is the biggest fund-
raiser for the Shelton-based nonprofit
group, which was founded 33 years
ago. Staff members and volunteers
