Williams and Twigs Cafe are co-sponsoring an Art Auction benefiting the Jackie Dispenza Memorial Scholarship Fund at the Triton Hose Company No. 1, located on Route 6 behind Curry Donuts in Tunkhannock, March 11 from 2- 5 p.m.

Dispenza was killed in a car accident June 15, 2011. She was a 2007 Tunkhannock High graduate who loved art.

The Jackie Dispenza Memorial Scholarship was established at The Community Foundation of the Endless Mountains to provide a $1,000 award to a graduating senior from Tunkhannock Area High School who exhibits a strong passion for the arts, which was important to Dispenza herself.

Light refreshments from Nimble Hill Winery and Twigs Cafe will be served. The event will feature Shamrock Auction Services auctioning art work and other donations from our community.

The event costs $10, and all proceeds will benefit the Jackie Dispenza Memorial Scholarship Fund.
