The evening will feature dinner and a show featuring The Little Egypt Barbershop Chorus.  

The Kitchen on Lafayette is catering the dinner, which will feature chicken breasts in a brown parsley sauce with mashed potatoes, green beans and rolls. Desserts and drinks are included.  

Everyone who plans to attend the dinner needs to make a reservation, with an RSVP requested by no later than Oct. 26.

Veterans and active duty personnel are free. All others are asked to make a $10 donation.
