Catawba Science Center Guild members announce their annual fundraiser the Italian Dinner and Auction, will be held on Saturday, March 23, 2024, from 5:00 pm to 11:00 pm at the Lake Hickory Country Club. First held in 1986, the Italian Dinner is CSC’s largest fundraiser with its success tied to generous donations from members and businesses throughout our community.

Now in its 37th year, the Italian Dinner and Auction is an evening filled with dancing, dining, live and silent auctions, games, and more! Tickets are available now for $100 per person or are included at higher levels of sponsorshi­p packages.

This year’s emcees are Jay Brown of Jay Brown Real Estate and Dr. Matt Kirkland of New Directions Chiropract­ic!
