Riford to host fundraiser

The La Jolla Riford Center will host “An Afternoon at the Riford” from 3 to 6 p.m. July 18 at 6811 La Jolla Blvd.

The party will include wine and hors d’oeuvres, tours of the center, silent and live auctions, and an exhibit by 25 members of the Allied Artists Association who will have works for sale with a portion of the proceeds going to benefit The Riford.

Linda Masters is chairing the event, which kicks off a yearlong development and fund-raising effort headed by Sharon Lee Masters.

A suggested donation of $25 is requested from each guest. For more information, call (858) 459-0831 or e-mail rifordemail@gmail.com.
