The Anthony Wayne Area Council of Boy Scouts of America will be hosting their 2011 Friends of Scouting annual dinner on Thursday, March 24, 2011, at 6:30 p.m. at Westminster Hall on the campus of Grace College, Winona Lake. A buffet dinner will be served and the program will begin at 7 p.m.
The evening's featured guest will be Indiana basketball legend Bobby Plump. Plump was a star of the 1954 Milan High School state championship basketball team, the team which inspired the film "Hoosiers." He went on to play college basketball at Butler University and professionally for Phillips 66. Sports Illustrated Magazine named him as one of the Top 50 Indiana sports figures of the 20th century.
Plump will share a motivational message based on his experiences on and off the basketball court. Additionally, he will have copies of his book available for sale.
The event is open to the public and is free of charge, but a charitable contribution or pledge to the Boy Scouts is expected. Whatever you can pledge is appreciated. Proceeds from the event will support the Anthony Wayne Area Council of Boy Scouts and the more than 1200 scouts in this area.
Registration for the event is available by calling the Boy Scout office at (800) 272-2922 or contacting Kelly Bergman at kbergman@awac.org.
