• The Boys & Girls Club of Eden held its 1st Annual Adult Spelling Bee on Friday, April 25, 2008 at the VFW Post in Eden, NY. The event included appetizers from area restaurants, chinese auction, raffles and the spelling bee. The event was enjoyed by 23 teams registered and approximately 125 spectators. It took 14 rounds of competition to find the best spellers.

  The winning team, Legal "Bee"gles was sponsored by Campbell & Shelton LLP and took the 1st place honors with the word "consanguinity". The runner-ups for the event was a team of community individuals who self sponsored, Jerry Saab, Judy Achtziger and Lisa Nellis and found this runner up status with the incorrect spelling of "impuissance."

  
  Shown above, left to right, are the winning team members Eric Shelton, Partner, Ann Bevilacqua, Lisa Greiner with R. Colin Campbell, Partner.

  Thank you to the community for a successful Spelling Bee and with the success of this event. This will truly become an annual event.
