The Gabriola Health Care Auxiliary presents “Cupid’s Clinic”, a Valentine’s fundraiser, at Dragon’s Lodge on Sunday, February 14th from 7 to 11pm.
“We’ve got a really fun evening planned, and anticipate a sell out crowd to help us raise funds for our new medical clinic”, said Lisa Carter. “Daryl and Raylene Czuy, and Kerry and Susan Wiggins, owners of Dragon’s Lodge, have donated the use of the lodge, and we’re very thankful to them for their generous gesture”, she said. The Martini Foursome, (known as The Kerplunks to their youngest fans) will provide great music for the evening. Dinah D., member of the group added, “We are honored to be invited to play for the Cupid’s Clinic fundraiser and are hoping to see all Gabriolans out for such a worthy, and very necessary, cause.” Gourmet appetizers will be served and a cash bar for wine or beer will be available. Several door prizes will be given out throughout the evening, and a Valentine’s raffle is also underway featuring a Lindsay Stocking Godfrey necklace, a string of pearls and a Sylvie Milman bracelet. Raffle tickets are $5 and the winners will be announced at Dragon’s Lodge.
Cupid’s Clinic is one of several events planned throughout “2010 Year of the Clinic”. To find out more about donating, volunteering or other events visit the Village Office, Mon-Sat, from 10-2, beside the library. Tickets for Cupid’s Clinic are $25 and may be purchased at the Village Office or Artworks. All proceeds to the Gabriola Health Care Foundation (GHCF). The GHCF has raised over $150,000 to date, but will need to raise one million for a new clinic to be built and equipped to include three emergency care rooms.
