The Gathering House presents The Red Carpet Murder

The Gathering House (733 West Garland Ave) presents, The Red Carpet Murder, a Murder Mystery Dinner for Valentine’s weekend. Join the fun for a memorable night out!

Catch one of three show dates.
Thursday, Feb 13 at 6pm
Friday, Feb 14 at 6pm
or Saturday, Feb 15 at 6pm

Cost for the dinner and show is $40.00. Reservations required before Feb. 11. Tickets are available at Streetwisespokane.org. For more information call The Lion’s Share Theatre at (509) 879-0302.

It’s Hollywood’s Golden Era and the stars walk the red carpet for the major movie premier of 1947. Guests will be immersed in the red carpet experience and watch the story unfold throughout the evening. It’s a comic takeoff on major film stars of the era and their rivalries. As in all murder mysteries, something goes wrong and a star ends up dead. 

Following the theme, those attending the are encouraged to dress up for their own red carpet experience. Photo opportunities will be available and prizes awarded for the best costumes from the era as well as solving the mystery.

The event sponsor, The Gathering House, strives to be, as its name suggests, a gathering place for the Spokane community. Many different types of events are presented that offer hope and meaning as well as plain old fun. It is hoped this theatrical event is the first of many theatre performances to take place at the Garland District venue.  

The Red Carpet Murder is a fundraiser to supply food and essentials for participants in Spokane’s Community Court. The Community Court was established in 2013 to more effectively help those struggling with addiction, homelessness and poverty by clearing up misdemeanor charges, holding them accountable through community service, and connecting them with agencies that can help.

Cost for the dinner and show is $40.00.  Reservations required before Feb. 11.  Tickets are available at Streetwisespokane.org.  For more information call The Lion’s Share Theatre at (509) 879-0302.

Volunteer Opportunity – Greater Spokane County Meals on Wheels

Volunteer Opportunity – Greater Spokane County Meals on Wheels

Greater Spokane County Meals on Wheels provides meals across all of Spokane County. For nearly one-third of the participants, this is the only meal they will eat today.

They are experiencing an acute shortage of volunteers to help with meal delivery, especially in the Emerson/Garfield neighborhood.

Greater Spokane County Meals on Wheels delivered almost 275,000 meals to homebound senior citizens in 2018. More than 300 volunteers deliver 22,000 meals each month to residents throughout all of 1,800 miles of Spokane County.

They are asking the Emerson/Garfield community for help in spreading the word about our services. Participants must be 60 years old or older and they pay only what they can afford – no one is refused because of a lack of ability to pay. They offer home delivery and also operate 12 congregate meal sites where seniors can enjoy a hot meal in comfort in the company of their peers.

The issue of senior hunger and isolation are complicated and immense and our agency cannot conquer it alone. Please join in the fight. If you have any questions, call Greater Spokane County Meals on Wheels anytime and speak to an intake specialist or volunteer coordinator. 509-924-6976
