County Assemblies' Charity Balls Cannot Return In 2024 Without Help

**News Release Submitted by The County Assemblies, Inc.**

July 6, 2023

The County Assemblies, Inc., the non-profit organization that sponsors both the County Assembly Charity Balls for high school juniors and the Red & White Charity Balls for high school seniors are in jeopardy if the open adult Board member seats are not filled by Monday, July 31, 2023. Our 85th Anniversary Charity Balls returned in 2023 after the two-year pandemic hiatus, but our events will not be scheduled unless our organization has enough volunteers. Our events bring together high school juniors and seniors from the towns of Easton, Fairfield, Redding, Weston, Westport and Wilton to raise needed funds for charities that serve children and teens in Fairfield County.

Adult Board members serve from each high school that is invited to our events. In order to invite the juniors and seniors from each high school, we must have Adult Board members from the Classes of 2024 and 202 parents. For Joel Barlow, we only need Board members from the Class of 2025, but for Weston we need Board members from both the Class of 2024 and the Class of 2025. Our events will not be held without volunteers.

Our organization would be delighted to share more information with you about the Charity Balls and how you can be a part of the Board. After 85 years, we would not like to see the 2024 events cancelled! If you are interested, please do not hesitate to contact us as soon as possible via email at: info@thecountyassemblies.org as our deadline is Monday, July 31st.
