“Convicts” are wanted for the fifth-annual Voyageur Lions Club’s “Jail or Bail” fundraiser set for Saturday, April 22 at the Fort Frances Curling Club.

Being held in conjunction with the Fort Frances Chamber of Commerce’s annual Home and Business Expo, the event will run from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.

Students, businesses, and organizations . . . your help is needed. Nominate a teacher, principal, boss, or co-worker and they will be arrested on April 22 as part of the fundraiser.

To arrange the arrest of your “guilty” party, call Bill Michl at 276-1334. Mug shots of nominated assailants will be taken and posted online, along with their crime!

Your monetary donations not only help these poor saps out of the slammer but, more importantly, support local charities.
