Altrusa International of Washington C.H. sponsored one of the major local events that took place on Saturday, when most of the 170 people who had purchased tickets in advance to the club’s fifth-annual Loving Spoonsful tasting luncheon showed up at the Commission on Aging prepared to enjoy a feast.
At least a third of the diners had attended in previous years.
The luncheon, featuring 78 dishes from Altrusa members as well as a dozen “Friends of Altrusa,” is the primary fundraiser of an organization with a single focus: “Leading to a Better Community.” This year, profits will benefit the COA’s Meals on Wheels senior nutrition program; Miami Trace Elementary School’s “Right to Read” literacy program; and scholarships awarded each spring to female graduates from both Washington and Miami Trace high schools.
