Tracy Stilwell of Victorian Rose Studio; Phillip Philbeck, Artist and Jack Weller of the Cleveland County Boys & Girls Club display this year’s donated painting that will be auctioned to provide funds for the club.

For the fourth year, Victorian Rose Studio and artist Phillip Philbeck are working together to donate a  framed print of Phillip's artwork to the Cleveland County Boys & Girls Club.  "Dad started this tradition with Jack Weller at the Boys & Girls Club four years ago.  He wanted to help a youngster have the chance to participate in the Jack Schweppe Summer Day Camp." explained Tracy Stilwell, Elwin's daughter.  At last year's auction the donated framed print brought over $300 or the cost of having one child participate in the Jack Schweppe Summer Day Camp program.
    This year's print, titled Secret Places, is a close-up scene of a quite wooded stream on a summer day with a deer coming to take a drink.  The picture will be part of the annual Car Raffle and Auction held Friday, June 17 starting at 6:30pm at Goforth Hall, Cleveland County Fairgrounds, Shelby.  Contact the Boys & Girls Club at 704 482 3258 to purchase a ticket for the Car Raffle which is your entry to the auction.
