Kinettes Club sells out Ladies Night Out

The Davidson Kinettes are thrilled their “Ladies Night Out” fund-raiser at Town Hall this Saturday has sold out.

Brenna Siroski, a member of the Kinettes, said the club doesn’t have their hearts set on a certain amount they’d like to raise as the main goal of the night out was just to provide a fun evening for the ladies in town. She said 224 tickets were sold for the event that features entertainment from Elvis impersonator Rory Allen.

“He was here quite a few years ago and is a phenomenal entertainer,” said Siroski, noting it was Stacey Siroski who recommended him for the show. “He really attracts a variety of a crowd of people. I know looking at my ticket sales that we have our young 20-year-olds coming out all the way up to my grandma who is in her 80s. We’re getting the whole spectrum with Rory Allen, which is really nice.”

Doors open at 7 p.m. for the night out with Allen taking the stage for the first of two 45-minute sets at 8 p.m. There will also be a silent auction and a 50-50 draw during the evening. There is not going to be a supper, but there will be a bar opened up for drinks along with a “bun lunch” after the entertainment.

A coat check at the door is being put on by Davidson School students, which will be run as a silver collection with all proceeds from the coat check going towards outdoor education trips.

Siroski said the Kinettes have been organizing a “Ladies Night Out” around every other year and always have a “really great turnout” with everyone in attendance having a good night. She said all money raised during the night would go towards “multiple” causes in the community.

“We don’t just designate it for one specific event,” she said. “Over the year the Kinettes give to individual families who apply for financial help or we’ve donated to the swimming pool and Telemiracle. We’ve helped with money going to the thrift store when it opened and we have a scholarship at the school. It’s just a variety of things.”

After the “Ladies Night Out,” Siroski said the next fund-raiser the Kinettes are putting on would be the second annual Davidson Amazing Race this June.
