MIDDLETOWN – Eat, have fun, do good. The Rotary Club of Middletown’s 17th annual Crab Feed and Auctions happens on Saturday, Jan. 24, 2009, at the Lions Clubhouse, Central Park Road, Middletown.

Doors open at 5 p.m., with dinner served at 6 p.m.

Dinner is fresh green salad, pasta with Chef Duane’s homemade sauce, crispy French bread with dipping oil, lots of crab (of course), dessert and coffee

This year there is reduced seating in order to give participants more elbow room, plus group discounts and reserved seating.

Tickets are $50 per person, which includes two drink tickets and a door prize chance. For groups of 10 or more, there’s a 10-percent discount to $45 per person.

Tickets must be pre-paid by Jan. 15 for group reserved seating. Give the names of the people in your group and a group name, so you can be seated together.

This is a sell-out event every year, so don’t be disappointed by waiting until the last minute. Get your checks and reservations in early. Make checks payable to RC of Middletown and mail to P.O. Box 981, Middletown, CA 95461. Pre-paid tickets can be mailed or held at the door.
