OAC FRIENDS SALAD LUNCHEON
MAY 22, 11:30 am

The Friends of the Owatonna Arts will be hosting a salad luncheon on Wednesday, May 22 at the Arts Center. It is a benefit for the OAC. Advance tickets are available at the Arts Center for $20 or online for $21 (purchase below).

This new event is thanks to volunteer Ardie Bahe. She plans to have six to eight salads on a buffet. “A variety of spring salads,” she says. The salad assortment, including accompanying bread, will be available from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

“This will be a chance for people to come and meet the Friends of the OAC and enjoy a light lunch,” said Mrs. Bahe. “It is not like our fall luncheon when guests come at the opening and stay until after a program is finished. Instead, this is a come, eat, and go-on-with-your-life luncheon.”

Many Friends will be volunteering to help that day. Others are helping with planning and setting up for the event, including Sue Vedder, chair of Friends, and Lisa Fillnow who has volunteered to make a sweet treat and Linda Peterson.

Tickets need to be secured in advance. There will be no sales at the door. Deadline for purchase is May 16.
