Hawaiian Shirts for a Cause: West Hudson Scholarship Assoc. Fundraiser

Break out the florals and flip-flops: the West Hudson Scholarship Association (WHSA) is hosting a Hawaiian Shirt & Gear Fundraiser tonight at The Eddy Apartments, 555 South First Street, starting at 6:00 p.m. Admission is $40 per person, with barbecue food, beer, and sangria included for supporters.
