Our biggest community event, affectionately called "Pasta Dinner", includes carnival games, spaghetti dinner, Wine Wall, basket raffle, and online auction.  This fun event will take place on May 16, 2025.

For more information on the event and to buy tickets, go to the Pasta Dinner page.  

* Volunteer at the event -- this event is entirely volunteer- run, and we always need help for set up, clean up, and running carnival games.  Sign up HERE

* Prizes -- every child loves the prizes they win at the event, from playing games and also the Book Walk!  If you have extra party favors or small toys cluttering up your home, consider donating to reuse as prizes.  Things like unused tattoes and stickers, mini notebooks, pencils with designs, erasers, slap bracelets, fidget spinners, pop-its... you get the idea.   AND if you have any new or gently used books ready for donation, we can use these in the Book Walk!   Leave all items in the box in the Front Office.  Thank you!!

* The Wine Wall is back by popular demand! Tickets are $25 each and every ticket wins a bottle of wine. Last year 41 tickets were sold for a total profit of $1025!!  If you would like to donate wine, donate money for wine purchases, or if you know of a local community that can donate wine, please contact Audrey Moore audreykimmoore@gmail.com.

Please email volunteer@henryfordpta.org if you have any questions, or want to help out with any part of this amazing event. 

Don't forget to buy your tickets early -- prices go up at the event, and only a limited number of dinner tickets will be available for sale at the event!   BUY NOW
