CHICKEN & WAFFLES
Yarnell United Methodist Church is having a chicken and waffles supper at the Yarnell Community Center on Saturday, April 20, from 4-7 p.m. The supper is a fundraiser to help pay for the needs of the community center. Some of those needs include buying heating fuel and paying the taxes that the building rentals during the year don't raise enough to cover.
Everyone is invited to eat in and fellowship with others during the meal or buy take-out meals. The price is a donation for the meals. Children ages 10 and under can eat free unless you'd like to make a donation for their meal as well. Call Donna at 814-880-9450 for info.

A great place to hold parties, showers or family gatherings, the former school house building has been nicely updated, has an open kitchen and counter area and will seat about 100 people. The cost is $75 per day and can be reserved by calling Jack at 814-699-0548.
