CURLEW, Wash. -- A benefit will be held this weekend for the victims of an apartment building fire that killed three people in Curlew days before Christmas.
The fire on December 22 killed 3-year-old Helen Brown, 2-year-old Gale Ryken, and the young girls' grandmother.
More than a dozen other families who live in the building escaped the fire. Some people jumped from their apartment windows to safety.
Saturday, January 9, there will be a concert and spaghetti feed at the Curlew Civic Hall. The concert begins at noon and the dinner begins at 3:00 p.m. Both events run until 6:00 p.m.
The cost of the dinner is $5.00 per person.
To make a donation to the victims' family members, go to any Washington Trust Bank and reference the Curlew Ryken Family Fire Victims Fund. Or you can mail to Washington Trust Bank at P.O. Box 2127 Spokane, WA 99210.
