Chicken spaghetti supper through the decades at First Methodist
Denta Roche recalls starting the traditional chicken spaghetti supper at First Methodist Church where, lacking a kitchen, workers carried dishes up stairs in old barracks. Twenty two years later the event returns, with Roche assisting again. Tickets once were 1 for adults and 50 cents for children. The article traces menu decisions, record keeping, and community involvement, noting a shift to school cafeterias for prep and the meal’s social impact. It closes with Mrs. Boche planning travel to Chicago for Thanksgiving and a Christmas trip to Australia after contributing to the supper and other church activities.
