It's that time of year again for the annual Good Samaritan fundraising event on April 29 at the Fort Scott Presbyterian Village. This year's auction will be filled with antiques, collectables and some new items, as well. The event will also feature a few select items on a silent auction table inside on the lower level of the Village, as well.

The auction will begin at 5:30 p.m. Donations to the auction would be appreciated. Call (620) 223-5550 and to make arrangements to have larger items hauled away.

Dinner this year will include a three-piece chicken dinner from Chicken Annie's, Creamy cole slaw, German potato salad, bread, homemade dessert and a soft drink all for only $6.50 each, or $7 at the door. Only a small number of tickets available at the door so be sure to get tickets early. Dinner will be served from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Local entertainment will be featured as well.

Once again there will be a drawing for one lucky couple to win a five-day Western Caribbean Cruise. Tickets for the opportunity to win are $5 each or three tickets for $10. Don't miss out on the chance to sail on the Carnival cruise ship for a perfect vacation destination to Progreso, of the Yucatan peninsula and to beautiful Cozumel. This trip is fully transferrable to the destination and date of one's choosing. The trip offers many options available such as windsurfing, sailing, scuba diving along the coral reefs, snorkerling, swimming lazily through schools of tropical fish, or a relaxing walk on the beautiful sandy beach. Spend some time exploring a look at the past at the ancient Mayan ruins on the cliffs of Tulum in Progreso. shoppers can take advantage of low prices on native handicrafts and duty free international merchandise. Tickets are now available.

All money raised will remain local to benefit those seniors who may need financial assistance paying for their care, through no fault of their own, which is available from the Good Samaritan program at the Presbyterian Village. Only through the generous financial support of great friends is this fund available to benefit those in need.
