The Senoia Optimist Club will be hosting its spring barbecue Saturday, March 19, beginning at 11 a.m.
One hundred percent of the proceeds from this fundraiser will be used to support research for childhood cancer through the Aflac Cancer Center (administrative expenses are funded via other means).
The barbecue will be held at the Masonic Lodge, 19 Main Street in downtown Senoia (between Hollberg’s Furniture and Senoia Coffee & Café). Serving is scheduled to end at 2:00 p.m. or until the club sells out – whichever comes first.
Prices are as follows:
Gallon of Stew = $30.
Quart of Stew = $8.
Pound of BBQ pork = $10.
Plate with beverage = $8.
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 on the day of the event.
For more information about the barbecue or to inquire about possible deliveries, phone 770-833-9242 or 302-981-4794, or email senoiaoptimistclub@gmail.com.
