A fund-raising dinner to help send Bjorn Selander to the UCI cyclo-cross world championships will be held Saturday, January 7, in Hudson, Wisconsin.

The fund-raiser will be 5-9 p.m. at Alwins Northside Service, 413 6th Street North. It will include a 2005-season recap by Selander; dinner catered by Mama Maria’s; and a silent auction for items donated by sponsors and the local community.

Tickets are $12. All proceeds will go to pay Selander’s expenses — estimated at more than $4000 — for the trip to world’s January 28 in Zeddam, Netherlands. For more information, call 715-386-7683.
