LaForge Memorial fundraiser event is Sunday

LAKEPORT – A fundraiser event to benefit the county's domestic violence shelter building campaign will take place Sunday.


Artist Gail Salituri will hold a drawing at her Inspirations Gallery on Main Street at 2 p.m. Sunday as part of her Barbara LaForge Memorial Fund, which is assisting in raising funds for Lake Family Resource Center's shelter building effort.


The Sunday drawing will announce the winner of a raffle for a lithograph of artist John Clarke's watercolor “Golden Gate.” Clarke will draw the winning ticket, Salituri reported Friday.


A silent auction for Salituri's original oil “Lake County Hills Spring Bloom,” also will end on that day.


In addition, she will announce the art that will be available in the next silent auction, which will end in the late summer.


Salituri began the effort earlier this spring in honor her friend, Barbara LaForge, who was murdered in 2002.


For the remainder of the year Salituri plans to hold raffles and silent auctions to raise funds for the shelter.


Tickets for the raffles will be available at Inspirations Gallery, 165 N. Main St., Lakeport; Lake Family Resource Center, 896 Lakeport Blvd., Lakeport; and the Lakeport Chamber of Commerce, 875 Lakeport Blvd.


For more information call Salituri at Inspirations Gallery, 263-4366, or visit her Web page, www.gailsalituri.com/Memorial.html.
