2014 Larchmont Spelling Bee Registration Underway
The Friends of the Larchmont Public Library are pleased to announce that registration is underway for the second annual Larchmont Spelling Bee. The Spelling Bee will be held in Social Hall at Larchmont Temple, located at 75 Larchmont Avenue and begins at 4:00pm on Sunday, April 6th. Refreshments will be available at 3:30pm. Admission is free for spectators. The registration deadline is March 15th.
Last year, the 2013 Spelling Bee attracted 20 teams and hundreds of spectators. “Given that kind of tremendous response, people should start signing up their teams right away”, advised Ellie Fredston, organizer of the Spelling Bee and board member of the Friends of the Larchmont Public Library. She added, “The Bee brings the community together for an afternoon of fun that also reminds us of how important libraries are to our communities.”
