11th
Annual Emerald Eve
“A Magical Night of Music”
The
11th Annual Emerald Eve was held on Saturday, April
8th, 2006. It was a very enjoyable evening in the
cozy atmosphere of the Benson Golf Club - with over
200 people attending.
Local
artists shared their talents with all who attended.
A local band, “Gigawatt” performed, as
well as The Prairie Lakes String Quartet that had
some very familiar faces. Our singing doctors also
entertained the crowd during the evening.
Dr.
Kidd and Dr. Holte spent some time sharing their enthusiasm
for what is happening in “Our” Hospital.
Over
$10,000 was raised through ticket sales, donations
and the silent auction. A huge thank you to everyone
one who donated their time to make this year’s
Emerald Eve another great success. We would also like
to thank all who donated items for the silent auction
as well as everyone who attended the event.
Anyone
interested in helping with this annual fundraiser
should contact Carol Peterson at 320-843-2752 for
more details.
The
Foundation is currently looking for volunteers to
join a newly formed steering committee that will be
spearheading the fundraising program to generate funds
for equipment for the new surgical center. Anyone
interested can contact Tom Connolly at 320-843-3828. |
