Bob Bowes' fundraiser is this Saturday, April 18th.

baystateparent freelance writer, Amy Benoit of Rutland, tell us that she has heard that it's very well-planned. Among the prizes to be (silently) auctioned off are trips, gas grills and numerous baskets...totaling something like 129 tables of prizes.

The fundraiser will be at the Auburn Elks at 7:00 PM. Tickets are $20 each. Balloons are $10 (but we hear they have a minimum prize inside of $25). There will also be a 50/50 raffle.

Items will be auctioned off items every 20 minutes...

More importantly, you will share in the inspirational story of Bob Bowes.
