Supping On Spaghetti To Support Post Prom By Dayna M. Reidenouer
Readers are invited to take a break from worrying about what is for dinner on Saturday, Nov. 9, and instead attend a spaghetti meal fundraiser at the Hoffman Building at the Solanco Fairgrounds, 172 S. Lime St., Quarryville. Between 5 and 7 p.m., individuals will be treated to spaghetti and sauce, salad, bread, applesauce, and cookies served cafeteria-style. Diners may opt to find a seat and participate in the Southern End Community Association auction that will run concurrently, or they may take their meals to go. Separate prices for the meal have been set for adults and for children ages 2 to 10 and will be payable at the event. The proceeds from the spaghetti dinner will benefit the Solanco High School post prom event, which will be held on
Saturday, May 16, 2020. The post prom committee, which is composed of the parents and guardians of Solanco seniors, plans to elaborately decorate set areas of the high school to transform it according to a theme that will remain top secret until the event. The committee is also planning games and activities and soliciting donations of prizes to be given away to post prom attendees. A budget of $20,000 has been set for the event. “We’re planning more activities at post prom (than in other years),” said co-chair Sherri Bleacher. “The busier we keep (attendees), the more interested they are in staying.” The goal of post prom is to provide a safe place for students right after prom, Bleacher explained. Traditionally, private afterparties often feature alcohol and other potentially dangerous substances. By providing an exciting See Spaghetti Dinner pg 10
