BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA — Grab your flipflops and lost shakers of salt and limp on over to the The River Rendezvous, “Cheeseburger in Paradise,” at 5 p.m. April 2 at 3781 Riverside Drive, Melbourne.

The event, hosted by Melbourne Alumnae Panhellenic Association, features cheeseburgers, margaritas and music by Highway 1 Tropical Rock Duo.

Cabana Shores Tiki Bar and Grill will cater the party, which includes auction items such as vacation getaways to Florida’s own Duck Key and another in Sky Valley, Georgia.
