Ticket sales for the Red Cross\u2019s 20th annual Club 200 event are underway. <\/p>\n
This year\u2019s event, slated for Oct. 25 from 5pm to 10pm at the Hyatt Regency Saipan, will have a Halloween theme.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve got some great ideas in store: spider webs, a haunted house, just kind of fun things,\u201d said John Hirsh, executive director for CNMI\u2019s Red Cross Chapter.<\/p>\n
The $100 per person tickets can be bought at the Red Cross office up until 12pm on Oct. 25 or at the door. A \u201cweb of ticket sellers\u201d is also selling tickets through the island. <\/p>\n
Guests can dress up for the event, although they are not required to do so, Hirsh said. <\/p>\n
There will be a costume contest and musician Willie K from Hawaii will perform.<\/p>\n
The Red Cross will raffle off $20,000 at the event, an increase of $5,000 from last year\u2019s raffle, to coincide with the 20th anniversary.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know people could really use that money in these hard economic times,\u201d Hirsh said.<\/p>\n
Ultimately, Hirsh said, he hopes people remember the event is for a good cause.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is our signature fundraiser,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s a critical part of our ability to operate the Red Cross in our community. The American Red Cross doesn\u2019t pay us, we have to pay them to be a part of the network.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
