Singer Amedea D’Angelo will perform in the clubhouse from 7:45-10:45 p.m.

Saturday starts with breakfast at 8 a.m., when the bounce house will also open.

Tickets for a 50/50 drawing will be available all day.

Information will be presented on memberships as well as the memorial brick paver program from 9-10 a.m.
