Oxford Legion to host Annual Harvest Dinner
OXFORD - The Oxford American Legion Auxiliary (ALA) of Fort Hill Post #376 is getting things ready for this year’s benefit Harvest Dinner. The roast turkey feast complete with loads of trimmings and dessert pies will be held on Friday, Oct. 14, from 5–7 p.m., with take-outs only from 4–5 p.m. Community members are invited to have a delicious hearty, “home cooked” meal and support this good cause, the Finch Book and Education Fund.
Fifteen years ago, Sally Finch started this fundraiser with ALA Unit 376 to pomote literacy for Oxford community youth. Members of Unit 376 bake and donate sweet quick breads like zucchini and banana loaves to serve before the dinner and homemade apple and pumpkin pies to serve for dessert. Squash was donated by Betsy and Jim Van Houten of Van Houten Farms. The rest of the dinner will be cooked in the Post 376 kitchen by ALA volunteers.
Prices listed for the Harvest feast are just $9 for adults; $8 for seniors; children, aged 6 to 12, are $6; and under age 5 are free; Take-outs are just $9.50.
The menu consists of delicious roasted turkey breast, turkey gravy, stuffing, jellied cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, squash, string beans, and assorted quick breads with butter. To drink, there will be hot coffee, tea or milk. Dessert, if you have room, will be your choice of home-made apple or pumpkin pies, with whipped cream on top.
Proceeds from the ALA Harvest Dinner are for a memorial fund named after Sarah "Sally" Finch, a once proud member of the American Legion Auxiliary. Sally, who passed away in 2003, helped sponsor volunteer programs on the national and local levels of the ALA. Her daughters, Sharon Carpenter, Donna Clark and Connie Rowlison, members of the ALA, carry on their mother’s legacy. The Finch Book and Education Fund provides revenue for books for the Oxford Academy Primary School students. To date, the Oxford Legion Auxiliary has donated well over $6,000.
The recognizable logo for the memorial book fund, developed by Woollybear Web, is intended for all ages to immediately associate the graphic finch bird perched upon a stack of books with the fund.
The historic Fort Hill Post #376 is located at 17 S. Washington Avenue. For inquiries, contact Tesha Tefft, at 743-6507; or call the American Legion at 843-8166. For more info on the ALA, visit: http://oxford-ala.chenango.org/.
