Come Sail Away with PHV at its Annual Benefit Dinner & Auction Fundraiser

The 16th Annual Pleasant Hill Village Benefit Dinner & Auction will be held Saturday, October 20 at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Virden. Doors will open at 5 p.m., and dinner will be served at 6 p.m. This year’s theme is “Come Sail Away.”

More than $242,000 has been raised at PHV’s annual Benefit Dinner & Auction over the past 15 years. The 2011 dinner brought more than $22,000 for projects at Pleasant Hill Healthcare and Pleasant Hill Residence. The goal for 2012 is to raise $23,000 and purchase items that will facilitate the safety and wellbeing of PHV residents.

“Thank you for your continued support of the Pleasant Hill Village ministry,” Executive Director Paulette Miller said. “We appreciate the various forms of support we receive from those dedicated to furthering our mission. We are blessed with wonderful volunteers who visit the residents, advocate the work of our ministry to others, help with our garden and make monetary gifts. With your support at this year’s Benefit Dinner & Auction, we will be able to continue serving PHV residents and community members to the best of our abilities.”

“The Benefit Dinner & Auction is a fun way to support a great cause,” Chaplain Terry Link said. “We have a lot of activities planned to entertain attendees.” This year’s event will feature catering by Sundae Best of Benld, live auction, door prizes, quilt, cake walk, silent auction, fellowship, and much more.
