The Olean Rotary Club will be hosting its annual Veterans Recognition Pasta Dinner from 430 to Tickets for the takeout-only dinners will be sold at the door, and available presale from any local Olean Rotarian. Adults are $12; children under 12 or senior over 65 are $10; with family tickets available for $35. Veterans will be provided a free dinner and may stay at the Legion if they choose.
Guests will have a choice between homemade tomato sauce with fresh garlic and herbs, or alfredo cheese sauce. All dinners will include homemade meatballs, salad, bread made by Luigi’s Pane & Pasta, and dessert made by Rotarians and others.
Proceeds will go to benefit the greater Olean area through community service projects and other charitable endeavors sponsored by the club.
"We were hoping that area businesses could assist us by being a Community or Elite Sponsor of this year’s Veterans Day Pasta Dinner,” said Paula Bernstein, Olean Rotary Club president. “For a $125 sponsorship or greater, you will receive 10 tickets to the event and your business will be mentioned in event marketing materials, including on Social Media.” Bernstein said having local businesses support the organization and its projects is part of what sets this community apart. “This is a wonderful place to live and work,” she said. “Please support us so we can continue to give back to our community and help deserving community members. Thank you to those who have supported us already.”
Rotarians have been a part of the fabric of the Olean area community since 1928. Rotary’s current members patronize virtually all Olean-area businesses and have donated literally hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years to many Olean-area causes and organizations. For example, Olean Rotary has given mini-grants to many area teachers, provided thousands of dictionaries to area third graders, helped construct a high tunnel garden at the Olean Food Pantry through a Rotary grant, helped pay for new steps at the Olean Theater Workshop on Washington Street, contributed to the COVID-19 relief fund through the Cattaraugus Region Community Foundation and many other worthy endeavors.
