Lutherans host spring Italian dinner

SHAFTSBURY — Redeemer Lutheran Church will hold its popular spring fundraiser with a new twist. Instead of the traditional German Dinner, come and enjoy a robust all-you-can-eat Italian feast on Saturday, May 10 at Saint Peter's Episcopal Church banquet hall, located at the corner of Pleasant St. and School St. in Bennington. Proceeds from the dinner will benefit the Bennington Interfaith Council Emergency Food and Fuel Fund, the Coalition for the Homeless, and Redeemer. The food is homemade and will feature cheese tortellini with shrimp and spinach, lasagna, cheese ravioli, stuffed shells, baked ziti, pasta primavera salad, spaghetti, meatballs, Italian sausage, assorted sauces, artisan bread, Caesar salad, drinks and a brownie sundae for dessert. All this for just $12 for adults, and $6 for children under 12. There are three one-hour seatings: 4:30 p.m., 5:45 p.m. and 7 p.m. For reservations and more information, call 802-442-8423.
