Jay Johnstone returns as auctioneer
Famed Major League baseball great Jay Johnstone will step up to
the plate again this year as auctioneer for the Big Strike Auction
Dinner of the Verdugo Hills Council of the Boy Scouts of America.
The 29th annual event will be March 22 at the Hilton Glendale.
“The overwhelming success of last year’s auction dinner for the
Verdugo Hills Council is attributable in large part to Johnstone’s
entertaining and enthusiastic participation in the evening’s live
auction activities,” Council Executive Director Andrew Messer said.
A 20-year Major League baseball player who played for the Los
Angeles Dodgers, Johnstone has earned four World Series rings.
Proceeds go to Boy Scouting activities of the council, which
covers Glendale, Burbank, La Canada Flintridge and La Crescenta.
Sue Keyes is chairwoman of the event. For more information and
advance reservations, call the Scouts headquarters at 243-6282.
