NORWICH – There’s a whole lotta cookin’ goin’ on with the Emmanuel Episcopal Church’s Outreach Committee. They’re having a chart topping chicken and biscuits benefit dinner and Chinese Auction on Saturday, May 10, “That’ll be the day…” from 4:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Their dinner plans for the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life (RFL) of Chenango County plans to “Set new records to rock and roll cancer free!” This year’s fun theme will make you want to slip on your blue suede shoes and cruise on over to the Emmanuel Episcopal Church, at 37 West Main Street in Norwich. They’ll be “All shook up” if you don’t make it and there might even be a rock ‘n’ roll celebrity guest sighting.
The RFL of Chenango County has chosen the creative theme of Rock and Roll and they will carry it through in all the fund raising events, teams and decorations. Relay teams could come up with names such as Rage Against Cancer, We Do Run Run, Smells Like Team Spirit, or Funds and Roses.
Come “Hungry Like the Wolf” because the Relay’s groovin’ dinner menu will include “Love Me Tender” chicken and biscuits, smashing real garlic mashed potatoes, far out peas with baby carrots, cool coleslaw (donated by The Ontario Hotel), king crimson cranberry sauce, and thirst quenching beverages. “Great Balls of Fire,” don’t forget your dessert, it’s a yummy brownie Sundae.
