OGUNQUIT — The Friends of the Ogunquit Heritage Museum will conduct their annual fundraiser for the Ogunquit Heritage Museum from 5 to 8 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 15.
All are welcome and encouraged to come. It is not just for members.
During the event, the Friends will be host their 3rd annual “Dinner and a Chance” at Jonathan’s. The cost for the evening is $50 per person.
The “Dinner” part is a buffet, dessert and coffee. There will be a cash bar. The “Chance” part is a silent auction of beautiful art donated by local artists, Russ Whiten, Julia Einstein and Don Gorvett to name a few. Live music will be provided by Jumbo Peanut Circus.
The real chance is to help the Friends expand their educational programs for the Ogunquit Heritage Museum. In the past, the organization has hosted a talk given by our own local Native Americans on their traditional ways, medicinal herbs, and herbal remedies. They also hosted “Do You Remember” with Richard Perkins.
The Friends would like to host more lectures and possibly develop a children’s program in addition to funding the museum exhibits.
Please join the Friends of the Ogunquit Heritage Museum for a festive evening of delicious food and try your luck at the silent auction. Tickets are available at the Museum from 1 to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays or by calling 646-0296.
RSVP deadline with payment is Sept. 4.
