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, the Oswego Lions Club, and members of the public for their generous support of our Guest Chef Dinner offerings of 2023.
Thanks are also offered to the many residents of the area who purchased dinners.
According to Advisory Board chairperson Theresa Sugar-Scanlon, “A total of 568 meals were served in our dining room or as take-outs at the six dinners held this year and $7,580 was raised.” All proceeds from the dinner sales went to support the work of the local Corps.
The dinners this year were donated, cooked, and served by Kristen’s Battle Island Clubhouse, Canale’s Restaurant, La Parrilla on the Water, Zonta Club of Oswego, the Press Box, and Vona’s Restaurant. 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 advisors urge members of the community to favor these organizations with their patronage.
A total of 96 dinners have been held since 2007. Although details of early dinners are incomplete, records show that more than 8,669 meals have been served and $107,324 raised to support the ministries of the Army in Oswego County.
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.
