Roswell Women's Club to Auction Artisan Chairs on Saturday, June 1

Wondering where the showcase home in North Fulton is this year? There isn't one. Instead, the Roswell Woman’s Club will auction off seventy-seven hand-painted Adirondack rocking chairs this coming Saturday, June 1.

Commissioned by local artists, the chairs are currently displayed throughout North Fulton at locations such as Voila Salon, Lucky’s Burger and Brew, Bank of North Georgia and The Chandlery, according to the club.

Sixty-four adult-sized rockers and 13 child-sized chairs each have a unique theme.

To purchase a chair, buyers can post their bids online and anyone can attend the "CHAIR-ity event" on June 1 at Nalley Toyota of Roswell, which will also include a special live auction. Heavy hors d’oeuvres by Talk of the Town Catering and dancing to music DJ’d by Greg Talmadge will make for a lively event.

With the funds raised, the Roswell Woman’s Club supports local non-profits and awards college scholarships to deserving high school seniors. According to the club, in the past 16 years they have disbursed over $1.8 million to non-profits and scholarships. Roswell Woman’s Club’s involvement in the community spans several decades of diligent public service and includes being instrumental in the formation of the Roswell Historical Society.

Events tickets are $75 per person and can be purchased online. Online bids are welcome until June 1 at 10 p.m. For more information, contact Sherry Broadway, Roswell Woman’s Club third Vice President and Chairman of Rockin’ Roswell CHAIRity Event.
