Are you single? Would you like to do something helpful for the community and have a good time? Then this is the fundraiser for you - Bachelor/Bachelorette Auction Fundraiser to benefit S.T.A.R.S., a non-profit community youth organization located in Howard Beach. The youth center offers activities for children ages 6 months old to 21 years old.

The event is to take place on May 19th, 2004, from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. at First Edition Grill & Bar, (second floor). They are located at 41-08 Bell Blvd., Bayside, NY. Join in for a night of fun, laughter and possibly....romance. Queens' most eligible bachelors & bachelorettes will offer a date that will be up for auction to the highest bidder. The event will also feature Queens' own hometown boy comedian Shevy Berkovits, as the Master of Ceremonies for the evening.

There is a $10.00 entrance fee, which includes a door prize and appetizers. First Edition Grill & Bar has generously offered to host the event free of charge. The first bid starts at $20.00, so bring lots of cash to help put this worthy cause! For more information, call S.T.A.R.S. at (718) 845-6956 or log onto www.starsyouthcenter.com.
