Join us for A Night at the Library on Saturday, October 17 from 7:00 PM–12:00 AM at The Peterborough Golf & Country Club.

The library is just the front for a hidden 1920s speakeasy, where guests can expect:

• Food & drinks
• Live music
• Casino games
• Live & silent auctions
• Raffles
• And plenty of Prohibition-era fun!

Most importantly, the evening will raise funds in support of the Salvation Army Toy Drive, helping make the holidays brighter for local children. 🎁

Please invite your friends and family to join you for the evening. It’s a fun way to connect while supporting a great local cause. Hosted by Century 21 Carl Oake Realty:

🎩 Dress the part! Think flappers, gangsters, jazz-age glamour and classic 1920s Speakeasy style.
