RECEPTION TO KICK OFF ART MUSEUM FUND RAISING

A reception to kick off the Roanoke Museum of Fine Arts' Dinner A l'Art fund-raising project is set for 5:30 p.m. Wednesday in the museum galleries.

There will be cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, and guests will be invited to buy tickets for one or more of the Dinner A l'Art events.

They include a "swine tasting" (pig roast), a country club event combining tennis and food, a dessert party at the home of museum director Ruth Appelhof, a mystery dinner, dinner at the Jefferson Club, dinner and drinks aboard specially appointed railroad cars, dinner and classical music at Bath County's Garth Newel Center, a home-delivered dinner and assorted other gourmet dinners, luncheons and brunches.

The meals and other events are donated, with income from tickets providing revenue for the museum. The first event is set for April 17 and the final one will be on Aug. 2. The cost of tickets ranges from $15 to $125.

Menus and other details will be revealed at the kickoff reception, which is underwritten by C&P Telephone. For more information, call the museum at 342-5760.
