Hot Dish on a Cold Day Lunch Buffet
The Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic are hosting a Hot Dish on a Cold Day lunch buffet on Wednesday from 11-to-1 at Trinity Episcopal Church on 4th Street in downtown Litchfield. There will be beef and chicken stew, breads, dessert and beverages for $10.
It’s free for veterans and children 5 and under. Tickets will be sold at the door. Take-outs are available. Connie Lies says people should note that it’s at Trinity Episcopal Church this year which is handicapped accessible. She says all proceeds will go to veteran’s causes.
Lies says the Ladies of the G.A.R. help with decorating cemeteries for Memorial Day including Lake Ripley Cemetery locally, but also Fort Snelling in Minneapolis and national cemeteries such as Gettysburg. She says they not only get involved in Civil War-related projects, but they help all veterans.
Darlene Kotelnicki says the local Frank Daggett Circle has members from a large geographic area. She says the Ladies of the G.A.R. must be able to trace their ancestry to Civil War veterans.
Kotelnicki says the Ladies of the G.A.R. is the oldest women’s military organization in the nation as it was chartered in 1886.
