The Riverhouse on the Deschutes will be the site of a dance, silent auction and raffle this week, benefiting the Latino Community Association. The Gala de Oro starts at 5 pm Saturday with margaritas, beer and wine, followed by dinner that includes Lomo saltado (thin, marinated beef), Veracruz-style fish and chile rellenos, and then a dance featuring the band Conjunto Alegre—a 12-piece band from Portland."

The LCA provides invaluable services to our friends and neighbors in the Latino community, and we are pleased to be able to support a program that makes such a significant impact on so many lives," said David Lenke, general manager of Riverhouse on the Deschutes.
