An evening at Savannah Dhu

May 5, Catholic Charities of Wayne County invites you to participate in a fundraising event at the Savannah Dhu Educational and Wildlife Preserve honoring Father Jim Hewes.

Father Hewes, pastor at St. John the Evangelist Church in Clyde and St. Patrick Church, in Lyons, will be the recipient of the first Catholic Charities of Wayne County Community Service Award.

Tickets for the event are $50 for the Sponsor Level and $100 for the Patron Level. All tickets include; appetizers, beverages, a reception-style dinner, dessert, and self-guided tours of Savannah Dhu. There will also be a silent auction of items with a Wayne County and Finger Lakes theme.

Catholic Charities is also raffling off two items that evening: a day-long, guided fishing expedition for six (catch and release) and a Wild Boar Hunt for Two (including processing of your harvest). Both expeditions will take place at Savannah Dhu and will include lunch at the preserve. Tickets for the raffles are $10 apiece and can be purchased prior to, as well as, the night of, the dinner.
