GRIDLEY, CA (MPG) – American Legion South Butte Post 210 held its first Global War on Terror (GWOT) Spaghetti Dinner, an activity honoring Gulf War veterans.
The dinner is hoped to become an annual event for the veterans in our area. Specialties included a variety of homemade cakes provided by the Gridley American Legion Post Auxiliary and a spaghetti sauce formulated by Marti Stiles, the lead chef in the kitchen. Both the Auxiliary and Post members worked diligently to prepare a full meal that was enjoyed by those in attendance and those choosing to “take-out”.
Veterans would eat free. Among the many vets in attendance was Butte County Supervisor Tod Kimmelshue and his wife Sherri.
Pre-sale tickets and tickets purchased at the door made the GWOT dinner a success. American Legion would like to thank the Gridley Grocery Outlet, which donated food and supplies for the meals.
