R.O.A.D. Down Home Dinner 

fried chicken 
The Upper School student club, R.O.A.D. (Respecters of All Diversities), will host their annual Down Home Dinner on Saturday, March 3rd, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m before the Upper School play - One Acts. The cost of admission is $10 for adults and $7 for children 10 and under. Admission is cash only and we ask that you please pay when you arrive in the dining room.

This dinner features many dishes often categorized under the Soul Food heading; homemade macaroni and cheese, fried chicken, catfish, ribs, greens, cornbread, sweet potato pie and much more. Food service begins at 5:00 p.m. and will continue until 7:00 p.m., but attendees should plan to arrive by 6:30 p.m.

This year, we would like to thank the Tompkins family for helping put on the dinner. If other members of the AOA community would like to lend a hand preparing the food, please contact Mr. DiBianca at gdibianca@andrewsosborne.org.  He can also assist with any questions or other inquiries.

We look forward to sharing this experience with the AOA community. All proceeds from the dinner will go towards future diversity projects sponsored by R.O.A.D., which strives to study and oppose prejudice against people of all diversities and to promote matters of equity and justice both inside and outside our school community.
