Community Spelling Bee

The Depot Youth Center will host the 8th annual Darien community spelling bee on Sunday, March 5 at 3 p.m. at the Darien Town Hall Auditorium.  The community-wide event is sponsored by Carnegie Pollak Test Prep and raises money to benefit The Depot and the youth of Darien. This year’s competition will consist of approximately 30 teams, including local businesses, sports teams, real estate offices, teachers and many more! The spelling bee is organized into teams of three members. Teams compete in rounds with the winning team of each round competing in the Championship Round.  Trophies will be presented to the winning team and a plaque recognizing the winning team will be displayed in The Depot. Emcees for the event will be David Genovese of Baywater Properties and Gina Zangrillo of the Darien Sports Shop.  Janice Marzano, Director of The Depot and Officer James Palmieri will serve as judges.
