Worms and eyeballs and bears- oh my! No, we don’t live in a modern day Oz, but if you read to the end, it will all make sense.
On Sunday, Oct. 28, the Rotary Club of Kissimmee South/ Poinciana present worms and eyeballs (a spaghetti and meatball dinner). This is a fundraiser to support “The Dictionary Project.” This service project buys dictionaries for every third grader in Poinciana.
From 1 to 6 p.m., enjoy an all you-can-eat buffet style meal in a canopied area in front of Pazza Luna Restraint, 2932 Pleasant Hill Road (Pazza Luna is where this Rotary club meets every Friday morning, 7:30 a.m.) . There will be children’s games, prizes for best kid’s costume and a silent auction. Dinner is $15 per adult, which includes one child free. Additional children 2 to 12 are $3 each.
Tickets may be purchased from Kissimmee South/Poinciana Rotary members or at the door. For more information, call 407- 847-9938.
