Ecker Center benefit at Anvil Club

Ameritune's Byron Parker, the celebrated discothèque deejay, will be on hand to spin the sounds for the Anvil Club's "Disco Delirium" to be held on Saturday, April 18, at the private dinner club, 309 Meier St. in East Dundee. Proceeds will benefit the Ecker Center for Mental Health.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and the evening will feature a 1970s inspired dinner buffet and drinks, themed music and dancing, a costume contest and a 50/50 charity raffle. Apparel and hairstyles of the decade are encouraged; casual attire is also appropriate. Cost is $60 per person.

The Ecker Center for Mental Health provides psychiatry and nursing services, 24-hour crisis response, psychosocial rehabilitation, case management, vocational support and individual, family and group therapy as well as crisis, supervised and partly supervised residences to adults with mental illnesses. It receives support from United Ways and Mental Health Boards which help to make its services affordable for people with limited incomes. Offices are in Elgin, St. Charles and Streamwood.
