CPI "Wine, Dine and Win' event upcoming

The annual "Wine, Dine and Win" CPI fundraiser is coming to town soon. Saturday, Oct. 17, is the date for the big event, which will be in the historic Old Town area of California, at the California Event Center, at 507B North High Street.

The "evening for two" event features a social hour, beginning at 6 p.m. There are a selection of wines and other beverages, dining on prime rib and pork loin entree plus appetizers and side dishes, and a possibility of winning a grand prize of $1,500. There is also a silent auction and a 50/50 drawing.

This event is a way to enjoy a night out for a $100 ticket for two, while supporting the community through the CPI (California Progress, Inc.) organization. CPI is the organization which spearheaded the restoration of several buildings in California, including the Finke Theatre, the Ehrhardt Building (now the library) and the Old Post Office (now the home of the Moniteau County Historical Society).
