Several events prior to school starting next week, and after school starts, are on the calendar. Tim Closson, elementary principal provided The Icon with the following information for parents:

MEET THE TEACHER: We will hold our "Meet the Teacher" on Friday, August 27th from 2:00 until 3:00 p.m. in the elementary school. Bus lists will be posted in the elementary hallways.

SCHOOL SUPPLIES: The school supply list is posted on the school website. Kindergarten student supplies will be furnished in their classrooms.

Blanchard Valley Hospital's Woman Wise mammography department has partnered with Myriad Genetics to offer a test to determine risk for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. This new test is called the BRACAnalysis(R).

Mark your calendar now and save Saturday, Oct. 23, for the second annual art auction and dinner to benefit the Bluffton Center for Entrepreneurs (BCE).

The evening will begin with an hour to preview the auction and enjoy drinks from a cash bar, include an elegant dinner, and culminate with the auction featuring work from local artists.

This year, BCE organizers are hosting a juried show of some 30 pieces of art. They are also seeking donors to match the gavel price of one or more items, as an added incentive to bidders.

The Bluffton Town Hall Concert Series will continue through the fall with the following concerts:

Sept. 7 - Garden Sharste Monks

Oct. 23 - The Hepcats Costume Party (Jazz band from Toledo)

Nov. 14 - Music under the Town Hall Rafters (local Bluegrass jam)
