Pasta dinner held to benefit VetsRoll

WINNEBAGO – VetsRoll is a program offered by Finnegan’s RV of South Beloit that offers a 4 day bus trip to 100 WWII and Korean era veterans to Washington DC. There is absolutely no cost to them, so to help offset some of the cost we are hosting a fundraiser supper. A Pasty or Pasta supper will be held Saturday, March 7, at the Benton Street Diner, 109 South Benton St. Winnebago, IL, from 4 to 7 p.m. On the menu is pasty or pasta (mostacolli), lettuce, bread, coffee, milk or lemonade. Desserts available for purchase.

We hope to have a silent auction and need items for that along with monetary donations to increase the amount we can give to VetsRoll. They have to raise about $300,000 a year to pull this terrific gesture off for our veteran’s. Let’s show them how patriotic this area can be.

If you are interested in helping in any way, please contact Benton St Diner, 815-335-1555 or Mary Gross 815-335-7534
