Raffle tickets for ‘Under the Tent' party on sale

Warwick — No matter where you are, on Main St. or a local supermarket, you’re likely to see volunteers from the St. Anthony Community Hospital Auxiliary selling raffle tickets for the 35th annual June “Under the Tent” Party on Saturday, June 17. The tickets offer an opportunity to win any one of 10 cash prizes and jewelry, and a grand prize of $1,000 donated by Provident Bank. The theme of this year’s party is “Country Western,” and although guests are welcome to come in any attire they desire, those who are creative and wish to dress in costume are encouraged to do so. The “Grand Ole SACHA” party committee’s suggestions range from Buffalo Bill Cody to Dolly Parton. The gala affair will be held from 6 to 11 p.m. at the Hickory Hill Golf Club, just off Route 17A. Seating will be under the traditional “tent,” and guests will enjoy an open bar, hors d’oeuvres, buffet dinner, and gourmet desserts. The event will also feature music, entertainment, a silent auction, prizes, and surprises. The proceeds will be used to help support St. Anthony Community Hospital in providing emergency, medical, surgical, obstetrical, and gynecological acute care services to residents of southern Orange County, N.Y., and Sussex County, N.J.. Last year over $20,000 was raised for the purchase of new equipment for the hospital. Tickets are $55 per person. To make reservations, call 986-1882.
