THE QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER FOR THE RICHLAND AREA COMMUNITY CENTER
Good Food, Good Cause.
That’s the motto of Feed the World café, our new caterer for the evening. Not only is their farm-to-table fare
absolutely delicious, Feed the World Cafe donates a
free meal or more to the hungry in our community for
every meal we purchase. So when you buy your Plant
Yourself! tickets, you’re really “Buying one, Giving one.”
Non-profits helping non-profits-how great is that? Once
we tasted the food, we were truly sold. We’re looking
forward to those pulled pork sliders, key lime pies and
more!
Don’t miss out on the Silent Auction while you’re at the
event. This is where the action is, lots of incredible
The Wine Pull is back!
What’s behind those unmarked bags? Will it be a red
or white? What label? What vintage? Bring your cash
because your $20 entitles you to “pull” a mystery bottle of
your choosing, ranging from $10-$$$, with all proceeds
benefiting the RACC. Thank you to our wine donors!
Make your picks early as these bottles go very quickly.
