FLORENCE — Want a miniature version of the Stringtown Restaurant, the old Florence town hall or a city schoolhouse?
The Florence Woman's Club will sell about 100 painted wooden miniatures of well known and not-so-well known local buildings at its annual luncheon to benefit the local chapter of the American Cancer Society.
The luncheon will be at noon March 21 at the Triple Crown Country Club. Each year, club members make different table centerpieces to sell to raise money.
Last year, the club made wooden birdhouses. “People bought them like hot cakes,” said Betsy Conrad, co-chairwoman of the event. The year before that, the club made concrete bunnies.
A silent auction will be held after the lunch. Last year the group raised about $6,000 for the charity. “We're trying to raise $7,000 this year,” Ms. Conrad said.
Luncheon tickets and the miniature buildings both sell for $20 each. Information: Jean Jones at 371-5900.
