On Saturday, September 8, seventeen notable “Celebrity” waiters served a packed house at the annual Celebrity Waiter Dinner and Auction to benefit the Franklin Opera House. Held this year at the new Elks Lodge in Franklin, the event was sponsored by AutoServ of Tilton. Great food and fine wines were enjoyed by over 130 attendees. Guests generously tipped their waiters, then bid on items in a silent auction and a live auction following the dinner. Over $10,000 was raised in all. Proceeds support the ongoing mission of the Franklin Opera House to provide the best in community arts programs and live entertainment to the Lakes Region.
