The Senoia Optimist Club will host its fall barbecue Saturday, Oct 17, at the Masonic Lodge in downtown Senoia, 19 Main Street (between Hollberg’s Furniture and Senoia Coffee & Café).
The barbecue will start at 11 a.m. and end at 2 p.m. or until the club sells out – whichever comes first. Pre-sale orders can be made with any member of the Senoia Optimist Club, especially for those customers who will be unable to make it to the barbecue.
Prices remain as follows: gallon of stew, $25; quart of stew, $8; pound of BBQ pork, $9; and a plate with beverage, $8.
If necessary, contact Senoia Optimists Phil Downey (770-833-9242) or Tony Bell (302-981-4794) for assistance. Send questions or pre-sale orders via email to senoiaoptimistclub@gmail.com.
Richard Thompson of Newnan will again prepare the food for the Senoia Optimists’ fundraiser. Thompson’s affiliations include Papa’s Smokehouse restaurant and SonRise Baptist Church barbecues in Newnan.
Funds from the barbecue will be used by the Senoia club to help with its many service projects that reach out to the local youth and to the community. Included among the club’s activities are two high school scholarships, Youth Fingerprinting, Respect for Law, Youth Appreciation, the Georgia Sheriffs’ Youth Ranch, the Senoia Area Blood Drives, the Optimist Oratorical contest, and the Optimist Essay contest.
The Optimist Club of Senoia is part of an international organization whose motto is “Friend of Youth.” Meeting the needs of young people in communities worldwide, Optimist Clubs have been “Bringing Out the Best in Kids” since 1919. Optimist Clubs conduct positive service projects aimed at providing a helping hand to youth.
