Peacock Keller & Ecker, LLP is sponsoring Off the Shelf, a unique evening of entertainment that benefits libraries in Washington, Greene and Fayette counties. Get your tickets now to join us on September 21, 2011 from 6 -10:30 at Hilton Garden Inn in Southpointe.
Far Beyond the Blue Sky
This program is a stunning visual presentation of the most recent two decades of human space flight. From the dazzling Hubble photographs to radar images of Earth and Venus, from John Glenn’s return to space to the construction of the International Space Station, your audience will meet the crews and share the experience. If you want an up-to-the-minute report on the wonders being created in Earth orbit, this is the program for you!
The fun will begin as each table's participants choose a book about space around which they will decorate their table. The tables can begin to be decorated on the day of the dinner. Check to see if your book has already been chosen by clicking on the tables link to the left.
The event begins at 6:00 as the cocktails will begin to flow. Use this time to check out the silent auction items, and purchase 50/50 raffle tickets. Support your favorite table by purchasing tickets for the People's Choice Award and placing them into the container on the table.
Then dinner begins at 7:00 and this year's speaker will take the podium at 8:00.

Libraries
Please help us help our libraries. They need the support of each and every one of us so they can continue to be a vital center for education, learning programs and the arts in our communities.
Proceeds from Off the Shelf will benefit the libraries in Washington, Greene and Fayette Counties, most specifically the start-up monies for the creation of a Regional “One-Card” Network.
Our vision for the one-card system is to ensure that every resident may go to any library in our three-county region and use one library card.
In addition to increasing convenience and accessibility for our library customers, the one-card system will bring about cost savings and efficiencies that will benefit the entire region.
If you are not able to attend, please consider giving a much needed patron donation. Anything you can give will be appreciated!
