NORWICH – Emmanuel Episcopal Church’s Outreach Committee will be cooking Around the World for their upcoming fundraiser. They’re spanning the

globe with a chicken and biscuits benefit dinner and Chinese Auction on Saturday, May 7, from 4:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Their dinner plans for the 20th annual American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life (RFL) of Chenango County will go “Around the World” as “Relay ‘Hopes’ for a Cure.” This year’s fun theme will make you want to get out your passport and travel to the Emmanuel Episcopal Church, at 37 West Main Street in Norwich.

The RFL of Chenango County has chosen the creative theme of Around the World and they will carry it through in all the fund raising events, teams and decorations. Relay teams could come up with names such as the Columbus Navigators, Equator Invaders, Continental Drifters, and the Northwest Passengers.

Take a bold step into adventure because the Relay’s international dinner menu will include a chicken and biscuits entrée that has roots in merry old England, fantastique real garlic mashed potatoes of French origin, along with the ideal side dish, peas with pearl onions (English again). Add to that “koolsla” better known as coleslaw which is originally Dutch (donated by The Ontario Hotel), Native American cranberry sauce, and thirst quenching beverages. Don’t forget your dessert, it’s a yummy brownie Sundae with vanilla ice-cream (donated by Gilligan’s), and brownies were born in the USA.
