If you've got $50 you can spare for a good cause, here's a calendar item from this morning's Trib that's worth your attention. The event takes place tomorrow afternoon and evening:

Gala for Franny Fund, benefit to raise money for Portland area child Frances "Franny" Welch-Cabler to get intensive, out-of-state therapy for cerebral palsy, 4 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., Helvetia Winery, 22485 N.W. Yungen Road, Hillsboro, $50, plus silent and oral auctions. Call 503-699-1175.

I'll be the auctioneer at the aforementioned event, and if I see you there and you mention this blog entry to me, I'll buy you a glass of the good wine.
