‘Celebrity’ waiters to compete for tips in Pink Up Port Angeles dinner Thursday

PORT ANGELES — The big event of the Pink Up Port Angeles campaign is Thursday.

Diners can eat a spaghetti dinner at the Chestnut Cottage while “celebrity” waiters — people known around town — compete for tips.

The dinner, which is available for a $10 donation, will be at the restaurant at 929 E. Front St., Port Angeles, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

The tips to the waiters will increase funds to Operation Uplift, a Port Angeles-based group that offers education, information, support meetings, a 24-hour phone line, free clinics, prostheses and wigs to those with cancer.

Basket of goodies

A basket of goodies from Frannie’s Gifts will be raffled.

The Pink Takeover at Chestnut Cottage has been underwritten by First Federal since its inception, said Linda DeBord of the Port Angeles Soroptimist Noon Club, which organized Pink Up Port Angeles.

The Pink Up Port Angeles campaign began Saturday with the appearance of pink ribbons throughout downtown, a bake sale and a free breast health clinic.

It continued Sunday with the second annual Pink Up Port Angeles Pooch and Papa Walk along the Waterfront Trail

Today, Soroptimists will “Pink Out the Pier” during Port Angeles’ first Concert on the Pier.

Information will be provided on cancer prevention beginning at 5 p.m., an hour before Deadwood Revival begins performing at 6 p.m. on City Pier.

On Friday, a golf tournament is planned at Peninsula Golf Club, 824 S. Lindberg Road, Port Angeles.

Tee time

Tee time will be at noon for the Soroptimists’ Tees Off for Cancer Golf Tournament.

Prizes will include a 2011 GMC Sierra truck, an Apple iPod and an Amex gift card, DeBord said.

The cost is $80 per golfer or $45 for Peninsula Golf Course members.

For information, phone Chris Repass at 360-457-6501.

On Saturday, the group plans a Finale Celebration dinner and auction at the Port Angeles CrabHouse Restaurant, 221 N. Lincoln St.

Tickets for the dinner, which will begin at 6 p.m., are $35 each or two for $60.

For more information, phone DeBord at 360-460-1155 or 360-457-6181
