KENT — Move over Alex Trebeck, because "quiz masters" Diane and Clive Lodge are at it again! They are working hard to pull together another batch of challenging questions for the Quiz Night on Saturday, April 19, at 7 p.m. at the Kent Community House.
The theme for this year, "So You Think You Know Music," promises to be tough and amusing.
"Clive and I are doing the research and our son is contributing his technical skills and preparing the music," Lodge said. "We’ve got a lot of different music this time."
The event, which is sponsored by Bain Real Estate, costs $35 for a team of four people, with all proceeds going toward the Kent Community Fund.
The fund was established in 2006 to help Kent residents meet emergency needs and to support community charitable programs in town throughout the year. Twenty-seven grants have been made to date, with assistance provided for medical and dental care, a wheelchair purchase, rental and fuel assistance, car registration, child care and many other needs.
The grants, which are paid directly to the service provider, are completely confidential. Referrals come from the hospital and from school social workers, Kent’s social services director and many others.
The KCF is made up of a board of seven members. Contributions come from hundreds of local residents as well as from events such as the Lodge’s Quiz Night.
"The Kent Community Fund is a really good cause," Lodge said. "We’re pleased that it will benefit from our Quiz Night."
Entry forms for the event are available from Toys Galore in the Town Center or by contacting the Lodges at 860-672-6099.
Participants are also encouraged to bring snacks and beverages.
