Area residents are reminded of two fundraiser meal opportunities set for Monday, April 8, distribution.

Kiwanis will have its annual scholarship meal that Monday with distribution at the Winn Farmers Market on Main Street. The menu will consist of Boston Butt steak, potato salad, green beans, bread and dessert.  This scholarship meal funds club scholarships for at least 2 high school seniors in Winn Parish schools. 

The meal is take-out only and pickup is 10:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. Delivery is available for large orders. Tickets are $10 each and available from any Kiwanis member.

Also April 8, First Presbyterian Church in Winnfield will hold a fundraiser event in its ongoing church support efforts.  This particular happening will be a pork loin (au jus) plate lunch including baked beans, potato salad, bread and desert at a cost of $15 per plate.

The meals will be take-out only, with pickup from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m.  Delivery is available on orders of 10 and more.  To place orders, contact Carolyn Phillips at 318-332-0796.

April 8 is also significant in that a swath of east Texas will experience a total eclipse of the sun beginning around 1:45 p.m.  With overcast conditions currently forecast, together with only a partial eclipse here and its occurrence after serving hours, no disruption of the fundraisers is seen.
