A group that organizes events in Riverside throughout the year is holding their membership drive tonight. The Riverside Area Community Club is responsible for the annual Trek Fest, Christmas related activities, and most recently, the Haunted Trail Ride. Mike Meinders is the president of the club. He says most of the proceeds from these events goes toward the new community center project.

The annual dinner and membership drive being held at the Riverside Casino begins this evening at 6:30. Meinders adds that during the banquet foreign exchange students living in the area will give a presentation on their experience in rural Iowa.
