The $5 advanced purchase ticket cost also includes an hors d'oeuvres buffet and a complementary beverage.
Seating is limited. Tickets may be purchased at the Orange City Area Health System ER reception desk, or by sending in an order with payment to Barb Den Herder, Education Coordinator, at the OCAHS main
