Elks raising funds for patio

The Clark Fork Valley Elks (CFVE) Lodge is working to update their patio area, and will host a fundraiser on Saturday, April 10. The event will feature a paint and sip event hosted by Cheers to Painting and former CFVE Exalted Ruler Michelle Blackstone. The painting starts at 4 p.m. and will be followed by dinner. The meal will consist of a Cornish game hen glazed with a mango chutney, sides and dessert.

The evening will also feature a bake sale and silent auction.

The event has limited seating and participants must register and pay in advance. The cost is $50 per person, or $30 per person for dinner only. The dinner will be served at approximately 6:30 p.m.

Money raised during the event will be used for concrete and landscaping in the patio and horseshoe area at the lodge east of Thompson Falls.
