By Rusty Nixon Correspondent PLYMOUTH — Helping out the Neighborhood Center will be the theme at Plymouth’s Moose Lodge this Saturday. The Lodge will host the Center’s fundraiser starting at 6 p.m. Tickets for the event are $5 and include a meal. The Dick James Band will be providing the entertainment.
Along with the food and fun, there will be a large number of prizes along with tip boards, raffles and auctions, as the Center hopes to raise money to continue their mission. Local businesses have been very generous in providing items to help the Center. “Everybody has responded wonderfully,” said Betty Looney, the event’s chairperson. “We have some very nice prizes donated by local merchants. Everybody was really wonderful when we contacted them.” There will also be a hand-made quilt raffled off, made by Looney’s mother. “We’ve also received cash from some area merchants,” said Jerry Nikitas, the Neighborhood Center director. “Centier Bank gave us a nice check and a letter thanking us for what we do. It’s very nice to know that the community supports you.” Also coming through for the Center is the Moose Lodge on Jefferson Street. “We’ve had a couple of these events before,” said Nikitas. “The Moose is really the right size for what we want to do and they’ve been very generous to donate the use of the hall.”
