Luncheon, with its menu of chilled strawberry soup, almond chicken salad and a chocolate dessert will be served at noon. The silent auction will progress to a live auction after lunch. There will be a drawing for a door prize.

Tickets are $20. Tickets must be purchased by May 1. They will not be sold at the door. Interested persons may call the Kinship office at 927-4039 or purchase them at Salo
