Family Support group will host chili supper Melodie Phelps News Editor Members of the Family Support Group for Battery C are beginning to think about a homecoming celebration for the unit, and the local community can help make it even more memorable. Proceeds from a chili supper, set for Saturday night, will go toward the fund raising effort that is underway. "We want to have as big a celebration as we can have," said Shellie Bertram with the Family Support Group. The local unit is expected to be home sometime in late January, after spending a year in Iraq. Plans are still in the works for a homecoming celebration. Saturday night, the local community will have a chance to contribute to that by attending a chili supper at the Armory. There will be plenty of food, great entertainment, as well as an auction. Bertram said that different businesses around town have donated items for the event, and the response has been good. The Bell Tones will kick things off with a performance at 5 p.m. Also slated to perform Saturday night are Klassyc Times, Western Rail (Ben West, Clint Hayes, Carl Brown, and Travis Bertram), and Hands on Ministry from Clinton County. There will be lots of great chili and other food to enjoy. Between performances some of the items that have been donated will be auctioned off. Some of the larger items that will auction Saturday night include four U.K. basketball tickets, a pontoon rental, a helmet, Harley Davidson collectibles, a Regina Burris original painting of the Armory, and Fred Thrasher prints. "Welcome Home" t-shirts are currently available at a cost of $12 and they can be purchased on Saturday night. Anyone who would like to contribute monetarily to the welcome home celebration can do so at any Monticello Banking Company location, where an account has been set up for the Family Support Group. Anyone who would like to help with the chili supper or who needs more information can contact Bertram at (606) 348-5548 or Mike Bowman at (606) 348-4691. Add a comment |
