Tri Kappa’s Taste is mostly about the food, true. But, we take great pride in our silent auction and most of our members have been working hard trying to find unique and awesome items you’ll want to take home. We’ve collected over 100 items and packages for all tastes and budgets. Join us Thursday, May 26th, 2016 for food, camaraderie, and a little competitive bidding. 100% of our proceeds go right back into the community in the form of Community Service Projects, Grants, and Scholarships. Show your love to Valpo while having a great time.
