WEST BURLINGTON - The 11th annual Southeastern Community College (SCC) Foundation Great Tastes event is scheduled for Friday, April 7, 2017 at the Catfish Bend/Pzazz!

The live auction and dessert begin at 8 p.m.

Throughout the night, guests will enjoy wines, beers, ales, spirits and coffees from 14 different beverage purveyors. Tasting notes will be provided. Pzazz! chefs will feature a wide array of delicious hot and cold appetizers and desserts throughout the evening, featuring several Lenten specials.

"Our goal is to exceed last year’s net of $35,000. Net proceeds will support SCC Foundation Board Scholarships, Foundation expenses, instructional program mini-grants, and facilities improvements," says SCC Foundation Board Chair, Frank Delaney.

Charity auctioneers from Fraise Auction & Realty Company, will auction off items donated by employees, students, alumni, and friends of SCC.
