Description of project |
Our club took this project over from another service club in the area (Gyro) that no longer had the manpower to do the project. We work with the local town to take over a busy street the 2nd Friday in July and cook 1600 half chicken dinners for sale to businesses and individuals in the community. This is a major fundraiser for our club, raising approx. 7000 dollars annually. |
Service Hours |
100+ |
