Sunday, May 29, 2011 marks the eighth annual Day With the Fishing Guides. Each year fishing guides donate their boats, time and expertise for this fun filled event. Men, women and children come from all areas to enjoy this day. The River Hospital Foundation provides a cap to each one of the participants and captains. Following a great day of fishing all boats head toward the Rift Camp courtesy of the Thousand Islands Bridge Authority for a shore dinner.
AUXILIARY MURDER MYSTERY DINNER
The River Hospital Auxiliary has decided to try something new in 2011. The Auxiliary’s traditional summer fashion show, after 57 years, will be replaced by a Murder Mystery Dinner. Over the last 57 years, this group of volunteers has diligently worked to raise funds to improve services and enhance the comfort of patients at River Hospital. Not a Foundation event.
Tickets are available for purchase through Judy Randall at 315-482-4049 or at the River Hospital Foundation at 315-482-4976. Tickets are $85 per person or $160 per couple. Tickets are limited to the first #160 purchasers.
