Village Bank is lead corporate sponsor of the Foundation’s upcoming fundraising event, “It’s All In the Bag,” slated for Tuesday, May 23, at 7 p.m. in the Coon Rapids Campus Performing Arts Center.


FM 107 drive-time divas Lori & Julia will host this multifaceted evening of entertainment on Tuesday, May 23, at the Coon Rapids Campus Performing Arts Center. Proceeds from the event will fund the ARCC Foundation’s scholarship program.

The event will begin at 7 p.m. with hors d’oeuvres, gift raffles and a silent auction of purses for girls and women. The menu will include deluxe canapés, chocolate-dipped strawberries, chicken salad and vegetarian phyllo pastries, and cheese and fruit trays. Each guest will receive a free gift bag filled with items donated by area businesses. Also available will be free massages, provided by area chiropractor Dr. Steve Hyjek.

Motivational speaker Cheryl Karpen will tantalize the audience with warm-up bits of wisdom. Lori and Julia will follow with their humor. The evening will conclude with a live auction of high-end purses, with auctioneer Col. Tony Elfelt, J.D. of AAA Auction and Realty.

Additional event sponsors include Jenson’s Department Store, Gently Spoken Communications founder Cheryl Karpen, and Col. Tony Elfelt, J.D.

Just as purses come in all sizes, shapes, and colors, this event is for women of all ages, from wives to sisters to daughters. (A few brave men are also welcome.) Seating will be limited, so tickets should be purchased in advance to ensure admission. Tickets are $25 through May 15, and $30 thereafter. At-the-door ticket sales will only be available if tickets remain. To reserve your tickets today, call the ARCC Foundation Office at 763.433.1220.
