There will be a choice of ham, turkey, or chicken, and a choice of three sides, with rice and gravy, dressing, green beans, and macaroni and cheese, along with a dinner roll and a drink. The cost for a plate is $8, and it will be $1 for extra meat. I
n addition to the food, they will have a bouncy house for the kids, as well as a candy shower. Bags will be available. You can call your order in early to Maretta Jeter at 441-8886. In addition to the dinner sale, the family hosts a yearly cheer camp and youth gospel choir competition to raise money for the foundation, which awards scholarships to senior girls looking to further their education.
