OXFORD – The community is urged to show their support over the weekend of Sept. 8 and 9, as there will be a two-part benefit event for John Lobdell, whom was recently diagnosed with colon cancer. St. Paul’s Episcopal Dinner Committee will be sponsoring a benefit dinner and the Oxford American Legion will be providing a benefit breakfast. In addition to the dinner and breakfast, there will be eight gift baskets for raffle.

St. Paul’s Episcopal Dinner Committee will be sponsoring a benefit dinner on Saturday, Sept. 8, from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. The dinner will be held at the St. Paul’s Episcopal Parish House, 32 Main St., Oxford. The dinner will be extended from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m.

The menu will be Roast Beef, Garlic Mashed Potatoes (with gravy), Honey Buttered Baby Carrots, Lemon Butter Broccoli, French Salad, Rolls, Beverage, and Chocolate Éclair Dessert. Adults are $6; children 6-12 yrs., $4; and children under 6 free!

The St. Paul’s Episcopal Dinner Committee (Joan Bradley, Charles McMullen, and Bonnie Emerson) are very proud of the outreach these benefit dinners provide to help others.
