NEWS RELEASE
For immediate release
CROGHAN LIONS CLUB
DRIVE THRU SPAGHETTI SUPPER
After missing
their last three biggest fun and fund-raising events the Croghan Lions Club
is looking forward to hosting a Drive Thru Spaghetti Supper on
Tuesday, April 27th in the driveways of St. Stephen’s
Church off of NYS RT 812 in the Village of
Croghan. Everything our patrons are accustomed to will be available –
except indoor seating and chatting with old friends. We will be following
strict Covid-19 practices during our preparations and throughout the entire
procedure. The meal (all 400 of them) will be the same as always –
deliciously prepared and with our own recipes – but the logistics will be
different!
First, we are
asking you to check with your elderly or confined neighbors since we will
not be making any home deliveries.
Traffic is our
next concern: To avoid any congestion on Main Street we are urging all
traffic to turn onto George St. (by Monnat’s
Country Store) then take a right on Pearl St. and then a right to Convent
St. and a right into the Knights of Columbus parking lot. A parking
attendant will direct you into one of 3 lanes which will rotate you back
into a single lane.
Then the fun
begins: You will be given a sticker for your window noting how many meals
you want. You will then be asked how many 50-50 $1.00 Raffle tickets you
may want to purchase and give you a yellow sticker noting how many you
want. They will need your name and phone # in case you win!
The next stop is
to deposit all of the used eyeglasses with intact
frames (even store-bought readers), hard glasses cases, and hearing aids
you have collected over the years. During the summer all
of the clubs in our Zone meet to sort and pack glasses which in turn
are graded and sent to those in need in other countries. Would you believe
the hard glasses cases make great First Aid Kits! Hearing Aids will now be
sent to a local Finger Lakes Club who cleans them up and sells them at
minimal prices to folks in our own District who cannot afford the high
price of new ones.
Then, “Do you
need a Broom?” The Broom lady’s assistant will give you an order form. The
regular corn broom is $13, the kid size is $7 and
the whiskers are $6.
Now it is time to
“Feed the Kitty”… and a kitty’s head we have! We
Trust You to add up your own account and also
include a “Free Will Donation” for each of your meals… realizing each of us
has had different financial gains and losses during these trying times… and
we will gladly accept local checks.
Finally – FOOD!
Our Chef’s have assured us there should not be a
wait for food. Your spaghetti will be sealed tightly in microwaveable and
reusable bowls and our servers will certainly get in their steps!
THANK YOU ALL for
allowing us to Serve You as we continue to live by our Motto: WE SERVE
others in our Lions Community… and yes… we always need several new younger
members 😊
