Jamestown (CSi) Mrs. North Dakota America Eliza Potratz of Jamestown, and her Adopt an Angel program presents The Great Gatsby Gala<\/strong> on Saturday February 14 at the Gladstone Inn & Suites.<\/p>\n

The event begins with a silent auction at 6:30 p.m. with the dance at 8 p.m. Saturday<\/strong>. Costumes are optional.<\/p>\n

There is no cost to attend the event. \u00a0The Roarin\u2019 \u201920s style event is a freewill fundraiser for Adopt an Angel.<\/p>\n

She started the charity two years ago in honor of her father, a retired police officer and Vietnam veteran.<\/p>\n

Eliza says four 2015 Mrs. North Dakota contestants will be on hand to help with the event.<\/p>\n

The evening will include a silent auction, dance, photos with props, candy bar and the chance to write your Valentine a love letter.<\/p>\n

She pointed out that a dinner previously planned as part of the event will not be held.<\/p>\n

This year, funds raised will benefit veteran Jim Stone, who was Eliza\u2019s<\/p>\n

college adviser, professor of criminal justice and sociology at the University of Jamestown.<\/p>\n

The funds will go to Jamestown Regional Medical Center\u2019s Hospice Program.<\/p>\n

She said, Stone\u2019s wife recently passed away from cancer.<\/p>\n

She pointed out that she helps veterans because both of her parents are veterans and has seen local veterans needs.<\/p>\n

She chooses different primary beneficiaries every year. Last year, a fundraiser, “Rock to Adopt,” benefited the Adopt an Angel<\/p>\n

From that she was able to donate $1,000 to the Cops N Kids, along with Christmas stockings filled with goodies and toys for children at Lincoln Elementary School and gift cards to some at the Salvation Army.<\/p>\n

She hopes to raise at least $5,000, this year.<\/p>\n

After her reign as Mrs. North Dakota, America ends in May this year, she hopes to continue to have the annual fundraiser for her Adopt an Angel program.<\/p>\n
