Opening Doors Benefit for the Maria House and Teresa Shelter

Come join the Dubuque Phlockers Social on March 3, 2010 at the Riverboat Lounge, in the Hotel Julien from 6pm to 10pm as we set out to Party with a Purpose for the benefit of Opening Doors - Maria House/Teresa Shelter! Opening Doors is a community service organization founded to assist women needing emergency/transitional housing for reasons other than domestic violence.

"A Pirate over 50" will be playing from 6pm until 9pm and will bring you a wide variety of classic rock covers along with an assortment of Jimmy Buffett trop rock favorites!

Since we're all about sharing good times with new friends, bring a "non-Phlocker" friend to the event to qualify them for a drawing for a free, one-year membership to the Dubuque Phlockers!

Bring a collection of any items found on the official Open Doors Wish List or from our list below and you will receive an entry into a drawing to win a free gift basket donated by the Dubuque Phlockers!
