Volunteers in Medicine in the Olympics events set this week

PORT ANGELES — Today is the last day to make reservations for the Volunteers in Medicine of the Olympics annual Healthy Harvest Dinner on Thursday.

Patty Hannah, VIMO board member, said Saturday that only seven tickets were available.

The $75 dinner will be at 5:30 p.m. at the Red Lion Hotel, 221 N. Lincoln St.

But if you can’t make it, there are two other fundraising events this week for the nonprofit organization that provides free medical care to people without health insurance.

Hannah said a business workshop hosted by former Almost Live! writer, director and performer Bill Stainton is scheduled at 7:30 a.m. Friday at the Red Lion Hotel. Tickets are $25.

Stainton also will speak at the Thursday dinner.

On Saturday, nine service clubs will host a dinner dance featuring the band “High Definition.”

The event will begin at 7 p.m. at the Elks Naval Lodge, 131 E. First St.

Tickets are $10 for one person, $15 for two.

Reservations are needed only for the Thursday dinner, Hannah said.

They can be made by phoning her at 360-452-8656.
