Write a commentThe Corps officers, Major Heather Odom and Lieutenant Alyxandria Allen, and members of the Advisory Board of the Oswego County Salvation Army offer their sincere thanks to several Oswego restaurateurs, members of Zonta and the Oswego Lions Club, and members of the public for their generous support of our shortened Guest Chef Dinner offerings of 2021.
According to Advisory Board chairperson Theresa Sugar-Scanlon, “A total of 448 meals were served in our dining room or as take-outs at the four dinners held this year and $4,884 was raised.” All proceeds from the dinner sales went to support the work of the local Corps.
A total of 83 dinners have been held since 2007. Although details of early dinners are incomplete, records show that more than 7,756 meals have been served and $91,130 raised to support the ministries of the Army in Oswego County.
The dinners this year were donated, cooked, and served by the Zonta Club of Oswego; Vona’s Restaurant, Canale’s Restaurant, and the Press Box. Assistance at the dinners was also given by several volunteers from the community and members of the Lions’ Club of Oswego. Media outlets have been generous in publishing our press releases.
The Corps officers and members of the Advisory Board are deeply grateful at this Christmas season for these contributions to the ministry of The Salvation Army throughout Oswego County and for the fellowship we have had with everyone involved in the dinners.
