The American Cancer Society dinner held October
20 at the Chic n'Chop Restaurant raised a record
$1,451. This was the 24th year the dinner has
been held in Bonners Ferry to benefit the local
area.
As always, the dinner was held at the Chic
n'Chop and owner Ron Erickson worked many hours
preparing the feast; all-you-can-eat spaghetti,
garlic bread, salad and drinks. At $5 per
person, it's a great deal!
Along with the employees of Chic n'Chop who
volunteer their time to wait on the patrons,
there are other local people who volunteer their
time to help. Toni Pennock, Connie Purington and
Leslie Barker have waited tables for the event
for years. Erma Clark has been the cashier and
Valdie Burkholder has helped out in various
capacities.
Rockey Burkholder and Marty Becker have been
seen carrying signs advertising the dinner in
front of the restaurant, which brings in people
passing by from the area as well as those
traveling through.
Teresa Becker, the event's chairman, appreciates
the community for its support. Seventy percent
of the proceeds from the dinner stay in our
community. |
