BBQ Fundraiser Brings In Almost $1,400 For Senior Center Delivery Truck

Last week’s fundraiser at the Wabash County Cafeteria and Senior Center brought in almost $1,400 for a new delivery vehicle for the center. At yesterday’s Mt. Carmel City Council meeting, Mayor Joe Judge reported $1,381 was raised for a new delivery vehicle for the center during the bar-be-que dinner that sold out in just over one hour. Commissioner Chandler Madden picked up the tab for the food meaning all of the money raised will go toward the truck fund. Judge estimated the new truck could cost $20,000. He said 137 meals were delivered last Thursday during the fundraiser that featured the mayor’s world famous bar-be-que.
