The rescheduled New Richmond High School Talent Show on March 16 has turned into an evening fund raising event that will benefit both the high school band and the Moscow relief effort through the New Richmond Food Pantry.
“We are going to donate a portion of the proceeds to the NRHS band, since the talent show was originally scheduled as a band fundraiser and since there is a definite need for new uniforms and instruments,” said event organizer Sue Griffin. “The Food Pantry would be fine with the other portion of the fundraiser proceeds, so I think benefiting two organizations, both of which directly benefit our community and our kids, is a fine idea.”
Other events in addition to the Talent Show on March 16 include:
* Open swim in NRHS pool: 3 -7 p.m. $5
* Bake sale in theatre lobby: 3 - 9 p. m. Items priced from $.50-$5.
* Cakewalk in gym: 4:30 - 7 p.m. $1 per walk. Whole cakes sold.
(contact Michelle Senter at 907-0307 or email at senter_m@nrschools.org to donate a cake)
* Spaghetti dinner in cafeteria: 5-6:30 p.m. $5. (limited to 300 people)
* Talent Show in theatre: 7 – 9.pm. $5. (limited to 500 people)
