Teams of up to three people compete for prizes and recognition as the community’s premier spellers. Spots are filling quickly.
Application forms are available at the library or online at www.scarsdalelibrary.org/friends.
Returning teams are looking for competition from challengers, who must be in high school 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 main event, the evening’s fun will include raffles and a silent auction. Notable auction items this year include an eight-week SAT preparation course offered by TestTakers and valued at $1,995, and a painter for a day, provided by A.G. Williams Painting Co. Inc. and valued at $600.
The spelling bee will take place Friday, Jan. 23, at 7:30 p.m. 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.
