Ridge not-for-profit that serves the elderly and others in need, are invited to

others. Tickets are $45 per person ($40
per person with a group of six). Festivities
will include Irish food, a “split the pot” raffle, and a cash bar. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. To reserve tickets, call 847-823-0453 or go
