Ethnicity, Diversity exhibit Friday
There are endless ways to build an American city. In Aurora we did it through the optimism and hard work of waves of immigrants from a dozen nations and cultures around the world.
A new exhibit, Ethnicity and Diversity in Aurora, 1834-present, will begin Friday, May 4 with a ribbon-cutting at 4 p.m. at the Pierce Art and History Center, 20 E. Downer Place, Aurora.
The exhibit will be open until 9 p.m.. Regular hours are Wednesdays-Saturdays, noon to 4 p.m.. Admission is free.

New 50/50 raffle for Vets Cruise Night
The Vets Week Cruise Night will take place at West Aurora Plaza, 2131 West Galena Boulevard, Aurora from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, May 26:
There is no entry fee for vehicles, but in an effort to generate more funds for our service dog project we decided to start a 50/50 raffle about three weeks ago and we will continue to sell the tickets until about 6:30 p.m. on the day of the cruise night. There was, as of last week, $3,000 in the pot. At 7 p.m. at the cruise night we will have our first service dog recipient pull the winning ticket. Tickets are $5. per ticket.
