NORWICH – Fundraising efforts for the Norwich chapter of Dollars for Scholars are in full swing this week. The charitable organization, which raises scholarship money for college-bound Norwich High School students, will get a boost today from sales at Nina’s Restaurant, where 20 percent of the tab will be donated to the fund when patrons present a special coupon (on Page 3 of today’s Evening Sun).

For every car sold at Christman Motors this week (May 11-17), the dealership will donate $50 to the cause. On Sunday, the Canasawacta Country Club will support the drive by donating 25 percent of the greens fees for that day.

The big event for the week will come Saturday, when Dollars for Scholars hosts a number of fundraising activities in downtown Norwich’s East Side Park from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Brooks Barbecue Chicken from Oneonta will be on hand, cooking chicken halves on site for $6. Pre-sale and walk-up diners can pick up their barbecue from noon to 2 p.m. Other activities include a car wash, face painting and a golf ball drop.
