Authors for Literacy Dinner & Silent Auction

The Literacy Council of Buncombe County will host New York Times best-selling author John Hart for its third annual dinner and auction. The evening will kick off with wine, hors d’oeuvres, and a silent auction that includes spa, vacation, and golf packages. During the dinner, Hart will read from one of his novels, which include Down River and The Last Child. VIP ticket holders will have a chance to talk with the author during a reception. A portion of ticket sales goes to the Literacy Council of Buncombe County to improve adult education and English language skills programs. (828) 254-3442, www.litcouncil.com
