La Cygne Community Dinner set for Saturday
By Roger Sims, Journal staff
LA CYGNE – The La Cygne Community Dinner is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 14, from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the La Cygne Christian Church at 406 N. Broadway.
The annual event, which began more than 25 years ago, feeds people from around the La Cygne area. Sponsored by La Cygne and Linn Valley area churches, the dinner also is supported by donations from area businesses and organizations.
The meal includes the usual Thanksgiving fare, including turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, green beans and other holiday fixings. Volunteers prepare the meal in the kitchen of the church.
Those who choose to dine in eat at tables set up in the church’s sanctuary, and last year the 4-H club volunteers wheeled dessert carts full of several options around to each table.
Organizers also offer take-out meals for those who choose not to eat on site, and volunteers deliver dozens of meals to homebound residents who can’t get out to eat.
Although a donation is not required, there is usually a jar near the serving line for people to donate whatever they can afford. Donations usually cover the cost of the meal for the following year.
