In response, the Board has increased the number of dinners to be prepared this year by 25 percent. The menu will be familiar to past participants: baked steak, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, cranberry salad, hot rolls, cake or cobbler, iced tea or coffee. Take out is available. For home delivery, call 304-661-0290. The cost is still only $10 per adult, $5 for children. In conjunction with the dinner, the Alderson Quilt and Craft Guild will be sponsoring a free Quilt Show in the community center gym from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday. They invite all to come out and enjoy the fine work of the local quilters. The Alderson Quilt and Craft Guild meet every 4th Monday at Alderson Community Center at 10 a.m. The new President Cindy Martin invites anyone interested to call her at 304-772-4001. They are conducting their annual raffle which supports the community center and this year’s prize, known as an Appalachian Nine Patch quilt, will be on display. Tickets may be purchased for $1 each. The funds raised go into the center’s treasury which allows the Board of Directors to both maintain and make needed improvements to the former Alderson High School, built in 1928 which now provides meeting rooms and gathering space for countless community activities. The Board of Directors recognize that the entire town and surrounding communities have generously supported the community center for the last 26 years and made it possible to maintain this valuable community and historical asset. We look forward to seeing you at dinner on Sunday, June 3.
