Women have often been accused of playing games for their own benefit. In this case it is true. Women will be playing card games, board games or word games with their colleagues and friends to benefit women’s education.

The American Business Women’s Association (ABWA) Jessamine Chapter, a professional women’s networking group, holds a “Games Night” benefit and silent auction Monday, February 22, from 6-9 p.m. at the Holiday Inn Express, 120 Holiday Drive in Summerville. The event is based on the concept of a “family game night.” Area women are asked to gather their friends, bring their favorite game boards or cards and join the fun. All proceeds from the evening will be donated to the organization’s scholarship fund. A ticket donation of $10 per person is requested. Advanced reservations are preferred but not required. To make reservations call Shirlie Taylor, at 843-873-6769. Tickets may be purchased in advance online at http://www.abwasummerville.com/blog/.
