Press Release
Previously known as the “Old Bags Lunch,” the Riverside Foundation for Health Care has scheduled Saturday, April 16 as the date for this year’s event.
To be held once again at the Fort Frances High School cafeteria, it will include a buffet-style lunch, goodie bags, entertainment, and lots of fun and games.
Tickets, as well as more information, will be available at a later date.
Reservations for tables of eight also will be available again this year.
“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” reasoned new Foundation director Nicke Baird.
“So we’re planning a very similar event to previous years, but with a new menu and a new look on the promotional end of things,” she explained.
“We’re excited to be planning this event and are going to play a lot of the games that were played in the previous years,” echoed Allison Hyatt, new chair of the Foundation’s special events committee.
“We’re also going to put together some great goodie bags,” Hyatt added.
“We’re already receiving bag donations,” noted Baird. “But we are looking for more donations for our different ‘bag’ categories, including every-day purses, evening purses, kids’ bags, foreign bags, and designer bags.
“We would also like to feature local artist bags, and have a table for local business bags to promote artists and businesses in the area,” she added.
Donations can be dropped off in the garage at 911 Frenette Ave., at 525 Scott St., or at the Foundation office.
You also can call Baird or Hyatt for a pick-up at 274-4803 or 276-0029.
“We only have 160 tickets available and already have some on hold,” noted Baird.
