Regis Hairstylists Will ‘Clip For Cure’
It’s not every day that you can get a haircut and help fund breast cancer research at the same time.
Saturday is “Clip for the Cure” day at all Regis salons. Stylists across the nation will volunteer their time to give $10 haircuts, with all proceeds benefiting the Regis Foundation for Breast Cancer Research.
Last year, 21,000 people took advantage of the reduced-price offer. Regis hairstylists can be found at NorthTown Mall, the Spokane Valley Mall and Silverlake Mall in Coeur d’Alene.
`Healing the Soul’
In other breast cancer news, Beverly Kirkhart will speak about her experience with the disease on Friday at The Met. Her talk, “Healing the Soul After Cancer,” begins at 7 p.m.
Kirkhart is the publicist of “Chicken Soup for the Surviving Soul.”
The event is sponsored by Sacred Heart Medical Center’s Women Services. Admission is free, but advance reservations must be made by calling 474-3202.
Help needed
Interfaith Hospitality Network is putting out a plea for supporters. It has exhausted funds provided by start-up money and grants.
Organizers need $4,500 a month to keep the organization running and are looking for private businesses and individuals to step up and help out.
Area churches provide homes and feed homeless families while the organization helps make them self-sufficient.
Since it opened in 1997, the network has served 73 families, a total of 238 individuals.
For more information about the network, call T.J. Sather at 747-5487.

This sidebar appeared with the story: RE-ENACTMENT Ritzville Tea to recall family
For 37 years at the turn of the century, Frank Burroughs was Ritzville’s town doctor.
He lived in a large Victorian home on Main Street with his wife Julia and daughter Ellen and practiced medicine from 1888 to 1925.
For a time, he was mayor.
Four decades after he died, his descendants deeded the home to the community for use as a museum.
Next Sunday, the Ritzville Historical Society will stage an old-fashioned tea at the home as a fund-raiser. The highlight of the event will be re-enactments of the life of Julia Burroughs and Ellen.
Calling-card tickets are $5, and guests can tour the home, have tea and watch the re-enactments, which are based on research of Julia Burroughs’ life by historical society members.
The tea runs from 1 to 5 p.m. at the Burroughs home, 408 W. Main in Ritzville. Money raised will go toward ongoing restoration efforts.
Tickets are available at the Garden Gate in Ritzville or can be reserved by calling (509) 659-1370.
