Don't Bee Late For The Scarsdale Library Adult and Teen Spelling Bee

There is still time to enter your team

Time is running out to sign up to participate in the fifth annual Friends of the Scarsdale Library Adult and Teen Spelling Bee. Teams of up to three individuals compete for prizes and recognition as the community’s premier spellers. Spots are filling quickly, and the entry deadline is December 15th. Application forms are available at the Library or online at http://www.scarsdalelibrary.org/friends. Returning teams are looking for competition from challengers, who must be in high school and/or adults. The competition promises to be keen, with audience members spelling along quietly or cheering for their favorite team to win the grand prize, a set of Bose TrueSound headphones.

Besides the etymological main event, the evening’s fun will include raffles and a silent auction. Notable auction items this year include an eight-week SAT prep course offered by TestTakers and valued at $1995, and a painter for a day, provided by A.G. Williams Painting Company, Inc., and valued at $600.

The Spelling Bee will take place on Friday, January 23rd at 7:30 PM in the Scarsdale High School Auditorium. Proceeds from the Spelling Bee will be used to fund a high-level speaker series, bringing quality programming to Scarsdale and making the library the intellectual hub of the community.
