The Civitan ClubCunningham, TN – It was overcast and looked like rain this past Saturday, April 27th for the Central Civitan annual BBQ Chicken Dinner fundraiser. The rain held off and it turned into a great day for the event.

“It looked like it might rain at first, but it didn’t. It was a nice cool day for our fundraiser,” stated Larry Pitts with Central Civitan.

The dinners were take home only and included a 1/2 chicken, with baked beans, slaw, and a beverage. Each adult plate was just $8.00. Pick up was at the Central Civitan building located between Hwy 13 and Alonzo Place in Cunningham, TN.

Central Civitan members got up bright and early to get the BBQ pits ready. 900 chicken halves were slow cooked for the event.

“We have probably sold all the tickets, maybe too many, we might run out.” Pitts said.

On top of a delicious BBQ chicken dinner, the tickets are also good for a free regular 6″ sub at Subway when you buy any 6″ sub of equal or greater price and a 21oz drink. Offer is good only at the Subway located at 1200 Highway 40 & 13 in Clarksville, TN.

“We sure appreciate everyone’s support in this community. We give back at Central Civitan. The money raised goes back into the community,” Pitts stated.
