So, Valentine's Day began as a Catholic holiday that celebrated martyred saint, Valentinus. Now, how we came to spend this day wooing our beloved with chocolates, flowers and promises we don't intend to keep, when it originally was to celebrate a man's death, I don't know and I really don't have the time to research it right now. Valentine's Day reminds me of a decorated box and Snoopy saying "Be Mine, Valentine" on a miniature card with a name scribbled on the envelope in red crayon.
In any event, if you have a Valentine and want to treat him or her to more than a small card and a handful of promises, join the Lampion Center for their annual Chocolate Affair on February 2nd. The Lampion Center is a non-profit organization that provides counseling for children and families and adoption services.
With 10 local restaurants and caterers donating oodles of chocolate goodies and champagne to wash the sweetness down, you and your honey, or co-worker, or best friend will be sure to have a splendid evening. Entertainment is provided by Monty Skelton on saxophone, Pat McCormick on piano, and the vocal stylings of Karen Ellerbrook and Gina Moore, and a plethora of silent auction items (listed below) will be available for bidding.
A Chocolate Affair is being held on February 2nd from 7:00 until 10:00 p.m. at the Old National Bank Wayne Henning Atrium. The cost of the evening is $50 per person.

Reserve your tickets by calling 812-471-1776 or by emailing Vicki Nelson vnelson@lampioncenter.com.  Visit www.lampioncenter.com for more info.
