Stand Up for Education! Celebrity Spelling Bee

Monday, November 12th, 2012

I hope these educated celebrities/politicians (District 5 Supervisor Richard Elias, Superintendent Dr. Linda Arzoumanian, LD 28 Rep. (newly-elected LD 9 Senator) Steve Farley, cartoonist David Fitzsimmons, and Cox VP Lisa Lovalo) can spell well enough to compete in this spelling bee. The competition looks t-o-u-g-h.

Support Voices for Education, www.voicesforeducation.org by attending this fun event. But tickets online or call for tickets-520-324-0881. And bring along a dictionary to check those spelling words.
