14th Annual Kruse Way Rotary Sounds Concert
October 3rd, 5:30pm Reception - 7:00pm Concert
Locations: Lakewood Center For The Arts
This year we have another exciting evening to share with you: The WannaBeatles -- a Grammy nominated group from Nashville -- will entertain you with an "almost" Beatles evening; scrumptious hors d'oeuvres and wine at the reception; the famous Art Bags filled with even better surprises, and "must have" silent auction choices. All the monies raised will go to our programs to benefit children: Patrick's Children (bringing education, food, and clean water to children in Uganda); Candlelighter's annual holiday party for children with cancer; scholarships to four and two year colleges; supplies to women's shelter in Portland; and more. This will be Kruse Way Rotary's 31st year fully organizing, funding, and hosting the Holiday Party for our families.
