Saginaw St. in downtown Bay City) will be hosting a fundraiser for Bay City All Saints Athletic Club this Saturday, March 16th from noon until 5PM. All proceeds from the fundraiser will go toward the purchase of a new bus to replace a 23-year-old bus, which faced increasing maintenance costs and safety issues. The new bus will be used to transport All Saints and Bay Area Catholic Schools to and from sporting events throughout the year. “I heard about their problems with the old bus and wanted to help out,” says Dave Dittenber, owner of Old City Hall and American Kitchen Restaurants. I talked to a couple of my friends (Jason Gilles of Bay City and Scott Nemode of Clarkston) who are All Saints alumni and we put this fundraiser together.” Tickets for the event are $25 each and include beer, wine and food tastings from both Old City Hall and American Kitchen. Silent and live auctions will be held during the fundraiser, featuring prizes included Detroit Tigers and Detroit Red Wings tickets, golf outings and more. In addition, a 50/50 drawing will be held. Tickets are available in advance at Old City Hall and American Kitchen and will be available at the door on the day of the event until they are sold out.If you have any questions about the fundraiser, please contact Tony Jeske at (989) 892-4140.###
