FEBRUARY 9, 2017 // 21 Riverbend Players present Hearts for the Arts dinner to raise ‘The Curious Savage’ play funds for Willapa Heritage Foundation NEHALEM — Members of the Savage family are the center of “The Curious Savage,” The Riverbend Players’ first production of the 2017 season at the North County Recreation District’s Performing Arts Center, located at 36155 Ninth St. A heartwarming comedy written by John Patrick and directed by Suzanne Jelineo, “The Curious Savage” chronicles the adventures of Mrs. Ethel P. Savage. To prevent her from spend- ing what her stepchildren consider their inheritance, they have their stepmother committed to The Cloisters. The Cloisters is not an asy- lum but a home to several eccentric gentle people, who are referred to as guests, not inmates. “It’s a delightful sto- ry,” director Jelineo said. “It shows people working together and living together — and accepting each other. The play reminds us, in a warm and heartfelt way, that we each are unique and need to be appreciated by others.” The play runs three Saturdays — Feb. 11, 18 and 25 — and two Fridays — Feb. 17 and 24. Evening performances start at 7 p.m. There are two Sunday mat- inees at 2 p.m. Feb. 12 and 26. Doors open 30 minutes before the play starts. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at the door or at the NCRD office. Call 503-368-7008. Children under 12 are free. Opening night will include a reception at 5:45 p.m., upstairs in the NCRD kitchen, with free refresh- ments with the cast. SOUTH BEND, Wash. — The Willapa Heritage Foundation is hosting the 22nd annual Hearts for the Arts dinner and auction from 6 to 10 p.m. Sat- urday, Feb. 11, at the Willapa Harbor Community Center, located at 916 W. First St. The foundations’ purpose is to promote the arts, artists and art organizations in the Pacific County area, and this event is the foundation’s only fundraiser of the year. This year’s Hearts for the Arts dinner will be prepared by Tamra McConahy and in- clude salad with Cajun ranch dressing, chicken and andou- ille sausage gumbo, cheddar corn muffins, and bananas foster with vanilla ice cream. It’s not your run-of-the-mill fundraising dinner — it has a Mardi Gras theme. Along with dinner will be the silent auction, live auc- tion and a raffle table, where attendees will find many individual art pieces for sale, as well as gift certificates and baskets filled with goodies. Area artists have donated handmade art pieces for the event. A special highlight this year, artist Joanne Jambor will produce a piece for the live auction during the evening. There will be a drawing for the gas raffle at the auction. Gas raffle ticket holders do not need to attend the dinner and auction in order to win the gas raffle prize of 100 gal- lons of gasoline. Raffle tickets maybe purchased at the fol- lowing locations: South Bend Pharmacy, Jayden’s German Store, Raymond Pharmacy, Raymond Furniture, Elixir Coffee Shop, Bank of the Pacific, Heavenly Memories, Sunset Air or by calling 360- 942-3677.
