McALESTER — The McAlester Regional Health Center Auxiliary will host a Masquerade $5 Jewelry Fundraiser on July 19 and 20 from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. both days.

The Masquerade will feature a huge selection of jewelry such as rings, earrings, necklace sets, chains, bracelets, pins and much more. There will also be many other items including handbags, totes, scarves, sunglasses and reading glasses. There is even a men’s section.

The “fantastic” feature of this show is that every single item is priced at $5. This fundraiser proceeds will go toward scholarships provided to high school students entering college pursuing a medical field and people currently working in a health care position who want to further their education.

The sale location will be adjacent to the cafeteria area in the hospital and is open to the public.

For more information, contact Nancy Gates, volunteer coordinator at MRHC, at 918-429-0325.
