Amador County – Hospice of Amador and Calaveras counties hosts its 14th annual Art on the Lawn dinner party, auction, concert and fundraiser June 17th in Murphys.
Hospice Executive Director Dan Riordan sent out personal invitations this week to the upcoming “Art on the Lawn” fundraiser, saying: “This is a great evening of champagne, great food catered by the Murphys Hotel, live music, local art, and local wine.” He said this is the “first venture into Calaveras with our most important fundraiser of the year.”
He said “Hospice of Amador & Calaveras provides end-of-life care to anyone who needs it, regardless of their ability to pay for those services,” and “this fundraiser is a big way we are able to continue meeting that mission.”
He said he hoped people would come join the cause and “we really need your support this year and hope you will call for your tickets today,” and “if any of you have any other thoughts about what we might be able to do to encourage support for this event with 2 weeks to go, please let me know.”
Tickets are $40 in advance and $50 at the door, and visitors begin the evening by viewing art from Local Artists, sipping champagne and enjoying tasty appetizers along with the music of Herb Boxhorn and Klaudia Promessi. Later, a light Dinner Buffet will be offered along with a variety of Local wines catering and a no-host bar provided by The Murphys Hotel.
