KINGSTON — The North Kitsap Boys & Girls Club is bringing a new French tradition to its fifth annual Valentine’s Evening of Romance.

On Feb. 9 , you can “lock in your love” like a Parisian. Join other Northwest Parisians and attach a lock on the fence of love and turn the key.

The event will be held at the Oak Table Café and the Firehouse Theater in Kingston, starting at 5 p.m. Donations will be accepted, plus items for the silent and live auctions. To make a cash or auction-item donation, (the value will likely be tax deductible) call Judy and Dick Osborn, 360-297-4693, or email richardnosborn@hotmail.com.

Since the suicides of two Kingston Middle School students, the North Kitsap Boys & Girls Club has operated an after-school program for teens. The club serves more than 120 teens each year. The annual Valentine’s Evening of Romance is the club’s major fundraising event, with the goal of providing more than half of the $40,000 budget.

Get tickets at the Firehouse Theater, Columbia Bank in Kingston, the Kitsap Bank in Kingston, the Kingston Chamber of Commerce, or call the Osborns.

Tickets are $40 and includes champagne, chocolate, and hors d’oeuvres.
