The Putnam County Community Foundation’s annual meeting will take place on Wednesday, June 21 at The Inn at DePauw with hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar at 5 p.m., with music sponsored by Wabash Capital.

Dinner will follow at 6 p.m. with the meeting and program beginning at 7. Sponsored by North Salem State Bank, this year’s annual meeting will celebrate some of the many accomplishments of the Community Foundation and members of the community.

The chocolate box raffle is a fun tradition at the annual meeting, and is made possible by local businesses who donate unique gifts.

Lynda Dunbar, owner of Completely Nuts and Candy Co. is donating 100 boxes of homemade chocolates. Shuee’s Furniture and Mattress owners, Bill and Brent Shuee, are donating a recliner of the winner’s choosing in a fabric to match his or her home; Mason Jewelers owner, Steve Mason, is donating a men’s or ladies’ Citizen’s Eco-Drive Corso Two-Tone Watch.

The boxes of chocolates are offered for sale before and during the annual meeting event for $10 each. Inside one of the boxes will be a certificate for the Corso Two-Tone Watch. Inside another box will be a certificate for the recliner. All of the boxes will be opened during the evening in a fun reveal ceremony. You must be present to win.

Proceeds from the raffle support the programs of the Community Foundation.
