July-Aug: Kiwanis Club Of Bridgeville Chicken Barbecue

by G. F. Hardesty, Jr., Secretary

The Kiwanis Club of Bridgeville opened their Chicken Barbecue funding raising project on April 24, 2010, to begin another year of operation. It will continue to operate every weekend through October 3, 2010. During the months of July and August, the Chicken Barbecue will also be open every Friday. This is the 49th year of continuous operation.

Funds received from this project will go directly into the club's service account to benefit children, youth, community service projects, elderly, and assist needy families.

The Kiwanians share most of the weekends to assist local organizations with their fund raising efforts. These organizations must have an emphasis that help area children and youth. The Kiwanians will give over 3,000 work hours toward the completion of this project, and 1800 of these hours are contributed cooking the chicken for the 21 organizations. These organizations provide help to prepare and serve the barbecue chicken platters. The Kiwanis Club has been able to contribute to these organizations over $30,000.00 per year for the past several years.

The barbecue facility is located 4 miles west of Bridgeville at the intersection of Seashore Highway (route 404) and Scotts Store Road (route 36).
