The Bangor Board of Realtors invites you to its Survivor Dance Party 7-11 p.m. Saturday, April 4, at Jeff’s Catering in Brewer.

The Survivor fundraiser features “an island theme, with island attire optional,” and “the great sounds and fun of the Retro Rockerz,” Jan Currier said.

Admission is $25 for a “Sole Survivor,” Currier said, or $200 “for a Tribe of 10.” Currier urged people to get their tribe together and support this benefit.

Tickets are available by calling 989-1607 or at www.bangorboardofrealtors.org.

The 2009 Community Bangor Realtor Fundraiser benefits Pine Tree Chapter of the American Red Cross, Spruce Run Agency, OHI and Habitat for Humanity of Greater Bangor.

“Net proceeds are eligible for matching grant funds from the Maine Association of Realtors Affordable Housing Foundation,” which in the past 15 years has contributed more than $100,000 to community organizations, Currier said.
