Members of Christ the King Catholic Church have been busy prepping for Saturday’s annual Italian Dinner.

On Thursday, members were busy making lasagna for the event.

The group is preparing about 500 meals and tickets are still available.

This year’s menu will be a choice of lasagna or spaghetti and meatballs, homemade bread, Italian salad and pizelle.

Children’s plates are $5 and are for children 2-12, and adult plates are $9.

Organizer Kathy Frye said that those who choose to dine in will get an Italian restaurant-type feel compete with checkered-table clothes and drippy candles.

“We make it fun,” she said. “The kids serve everyone.”

The event’s proceeds go to help fund the youth’s mission trip for the summer.

“When you come in and eat with us, you get a choice of beverage, as well,” she said. “We will also have a dessert and cappuccino bar, which costs extra.”

The event will begin at 4 p.m., and end at 8:30 p.m.

A carry-out option is available.

To purchase advance tickets call Randy Kuhn at 488-5304 or Frye at 488-5983.
