The Riverview Educational Foundation (REF) has announced they will be hosting their “On Par for Education” dinner and auction at the Sno-Valley Senior Center on Saturday, September 30th at 6 p.m.

All proceeds from this event will be used to fund REF’s 2007 grant season, which will enhance the educational opportunities for teachers, students and schools within the Riverview School District.

The price for the event is $30 per person. A delicious menu is planned, offering appetizers, crab legs and chicken skewers, baby red potatoes in garlic butter, Caesar salad, veggies and dinner rolls, and finished with a scrumptious cheesecake dessert. Live and silent auctions are planned with lots of great packages to bid for. There will also be a reverse raffle for additional cash.

The Riverview Educational Foundation is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization created to raise money for the Riverview School District. Funds raised by the Foundation go towards materials, equipment and special projects for Riverview Schools.

Some of the items REF has provided in the past are: books for classrooms and school libraries, science equipment and math supplies, art materials, teaching aids, special technology for classrooms and funding for special projects.

Last year alone REF awarded over $16,000 in grant money to Riverview teachers.

This is an excellent opportunity to enjoy a great meal and a fun evening, all while supporting a very worthy cause.

Seating is limited, so those wishing to attend are encouraged to contact REF early to guarantee a spot.
