At the Jan. 6 meeting, a representative of the Friends of the Hubbardston Senior Center announced a "Pie for Breakfast" fundraiser scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 14, from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Tickets will cost $10 and will be sold in advance and at the door; children under 5 may attend free.
The Friends also described a raffle to support the senior center: raffle tickets will be sold at 1 for $2, 3 for $5, and 6 for $10. Prizes listed included a bottle of champagne, glass flutes, truffles and a $150 gift certificate to the Salem Cross Inn. Organizers said many of the event proceeds return to the center to support programs and supplies and reported early ticket sales have already covered much of the event's costs.
Logistics discussed included collecting pies in labeled reusable pie plates (donors should label plates for return), arranging for about 40 pies based on past events, and estimating that 47 pies would be needed if 100 tickets are sold. Volunteers were asked to help sell tickets, distribute flyers at town locations (including the town office and library), coordinate with the school to reach families and place flyers on tables during regular activities such as bingo.
Board members also discussed related programming (soup days, a proposed potato bar around St. Patrick's Day) and kitchen logistics such as storage and how to portion a large hamburger donation for multiple soup days. The Friends representative asked volunteers to leave raffle tickets and pie tickets in a designated drawer for safekeeping.
What happens next: Organizers will continue ticket sales and outreach; volunteers asked to return labeled pie plates after the event; the board will post event details on the town office bulletin board and online.
