SAVE THE DATE!

4th annual Guanajuato Nights fundraiser for the Amigo Club’s endowed

scholarship fund administered by the SOU Foundation

Saturday, November 10, 2018, 5:00–9:30 PM

Rogue River Room, Southern Oregon University (SOU), Ashland

We are committed to having the Amigo Club Endowed Scholarship making a real impact on student exchanges between Ashland and Guanajuato. In the past three years, we have granted five scholarships and, with the generous match of Faffie Siekman, your contributions to our annual fundraisers, and interest earnings, the Fund now exceeds $120,000.

Tickets will go on sale shortly for $55.00 each.

We are asking you to generously donate items to the auction, ranging from gift certificates to valuable articles and professional services.  If you have items to donate, please contact Mina Turner at amigo@97520.net.  Remember that a gift to the Amigo Club, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, may qualify as a tax-deductible charitable contribution deduction.
