Crystal Ridge Dream Center hosts May charity dinner and record show
April 13, 2026 at 7:08 PM
This May, the Crystal Ridge Dream Center is all about setting tables and spinning turntables with two events raising funds for a local charity.
A roast beef dinner on May 1 will take place at the Ridgeway Lions Club banquet hall with $25 entry and all proceded going to the Dream Center’s local programming. Doors open at 5 p.m. and dinner is at 6 p.m.
The night will include live music, a silent auction, a penny table, door prizes and a 50-50 draw. Performances from the centre’s music program and program displays are also planned.
The event invites residents to reserve seats in advance through the centre’s website.
A second fundraiser follows on May 30 with the centre’s second annual charity record show at the Crystal Ridge Dream Center at 385 Derby Road from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Admission costs $2.
Vendors will be offering vinyl records, CDs, cassettes and music memorabilia. The event will also have ultrasonic record cleaning for any “vinyl junkies” looking to preserve their collection.
A barbecue will be sizzling from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., along with a silent auction and door giveaways.
Both events aim to generate operating funds for the centre’s ongoing services, such as its community kitchen program on Tuesdays and Fridays and non-perishable food giveaways.
Ticket sales for the dinner remain open online, while the record show operates as a drop-in event with admission at the door.
