Elizabethtown Chapter, Order of DeMolay, will hold its 24th annual charity dinner fundraiser on Saturday, April 13, from 3:30 to 7 p.m. Proceeds will benefit the Children's Dyslexia Center of Lancaster. The all-you-can-eat chicken potpie dinner will be held in the Lodge Multipurpose Room, formerly known as the Lodge Dining Room, at the Freemason Cultural Center of the Masonic Village located at 1 Masonic Drive in Elizabethtown. The main course will be the Pennsylvania Dutch-style potpie, also known as "wet" potpie, featuring homemade noodles and chicken in a thick stew.
The cost of the dinner includes all-you-can-eat chicken potpie and applesauce, along with a beverage and dessert. Separate costs have been set for adults and for children age 10 and under. Advance ticket purchases are recommended; very limited tickets will be available at the door on April 13. Takeouts will not be available, but quarts of the chicken potpie will be sold for the price of an adult dinner. In addition to the dinner, a Chinese auction will be held for a variety of prizes and gifts.
Dinner tickets are available from any DeMolay member or adviser, at various locations at the Masonic Village, and at the Children's Dyslexia Center, 213 W. Chestnut St., Lancaster. Tickets are also available by contacting Dave Berry at 717-367-1536, ext. 4, or david2011berry@gmail.com.
