On Sunday, May 12, the Barker Lions Club will hold its annual Mother’s Day chicken barbecue. The complete meal consists of a half chicken, cheese potatoes au gratin, corn casserole and strawberry shortcake. Tickets are $15 presale or $17 at the door, and are available by calling Lion Margo at 778-7001, the Lions Club phone at 585-480-5437 or by emailing [email protected].
Organizers said, “As Helen Keller’s Knights of the Blind, the Lions Club funds glasses and hearing aids for those in our community who cannot afford them. We also install wheelchair lifts and have a loan closet for those with health challenges. The funds raised will further these efforts.”
Dinners will be ready at 11 a.m. at the Barker Lions Building on Main Street. Presale dinners are held until 1 p.m.
The Barker Lions are also continuing an American flag sale. Each 3-foot-by-5-foot nylon flag was made by the visually impaired at the Olmsted Center. The price is $29. The flags will be available during the chicken barbecue or by using the contact information above.
