Binning banquet
The 12th annual Deepak Binning banquet fundraiser featuring Indian cuisine and dance will take place at the Rutland Centennial Hall on Saturday, starting at 6 p.m.
Tickets are still available at $75/person with a tax receipt issued for $50 of that cost.
The banquet will raise money for the new UBC Okanagan Medical School to help orphans with medical issues in India.

In the past, the fundraiser has generated some $250,000 for other UBC Okangaan programs, the cancer centre in Kelowna and to help pay for a special room at the new hospice house.
“This is an amazing event and well supported by the community” said event organizer Mohinni Singh, who is a Kelowna city councillor.
“Collectively we are all making a difference locally and globally.”
