Butte Central Accepting Reservations for Laverne Combo Thanksgiving Dinner

One of the biggest, free, student and faculty-run Thanksgiving Dinners is almost upon us again.  Of course, I am talking about the annual Laverne Combo Thanksgiving Dinner which Butte Central has been doing for decades.  It's an event that the entire school system is very proud of and with good reason.  The feast is prepared by students and faculty members with food that they have purchased through donations.  It is served in the high school gymnasium by students.  Some students do double-duty as entertainers.  Some are sent out around town to deliver the meals to those who are unable to leave their homes.  It is truly a wonderful event made even better by the fact that it is free to anyone who wishes to attend.  You just have to make a reservation.  We received the following message from Chad Petersen, Butte Central's Activities Director.

The students, faculty, staff, and administration of Butte Central Catholic High School will host the annual Laverne Combo Thanksgiving Dinner for the elderly and homebound residents of Butte on Tuesday, November 17th, at 5:00 PM in the Butte Central High School gymnasium.

The dinner is free of charge, and meal delivery is available for those unable to attend. To make a dine-in reservation or arrange for meal delivery, please contact the Butte Central High School office at (406) 782-6761 by Thursday, November 12th, at 4:00 PM.

The dinner is for the elderly and homebound, but many have been guests of the school at past dinners, from the developmentally disabled to those who simply cannot afford a Thanksgiving meal. Please call (406) 782-6761 for details and information.
