"Cluckin' with the Cops"
Redlands Baseball for Youth's third annual "Cluckin' with the Cops" dinner undraiser is set for Saturday.
Pork and chicken dishes are set to be served at the dinner, which is planned to help furnish Redlands Baseball for Youth's "Xtreme Team" with gear and uniforms. Baseball for Youth board member Kerry Kennison said about 60 kids take part in the team's activities, which gives children with mental and physical disabilities a chance to play ball.
"There's no other place for them to play in organized opportunities," Kennison said. "We'll take any child that wants to play. There's no cost for the program."
The dinner is scheduled to be held at Martha Green's Eating Room. The restaurant's sign features a brightly-colored chicken. There was no word that cops would actually make clucking noises at the event, but Redlands officers are expected to volunteer their time to wait tables and work in the kitchen.
Dinner seatings are scheduled for 5 and 7 p.m. and the meal will include a dessert. The $25 cost of dinner will be donated to the Xtreme Team.
The Eating Room is at 107 East Citrus Avenue, Redlands. For more infortmation on the dinner or the Xtreme team, call Kennison at (951) 751-4226.
