 While the senior programs receive a grant from the Area Agency on
Aging of Lincolnland and local support from the Logan County senior
tax and United Way, the programs must find additional revenues
annually to operate. As a matter of fact, the major funding source
requires a show of local support through additional funding. All
proceeds of this event are going to the Logan County and Mason
County Senior Nutrition and Transportation programs that have been
coordinated by Community Action for over 30 years.The event on
March 26 will feature Buffet-inspired live musical entertainment by
last year’s entertainer, "J, The World’s Most Dangerous One Man
Band," along with a comedic performance from Mason City Limits
Comedy Club. The event will feature as many cheeseburgers as you can
eat, raffles, live auctions and more.
"We look forward to seeing everyone out having a great time as we
support our local seniors," said Angela Stoltzenburg, executive
director of Community Action. "We’ve sold out the past four years so
we encourage people to contact us right away for tickets." Tickets
go on sale Jan. 3 for $25 each.
Businesses, organizations and individuals also have an
opportunity to support the seniors through table sponsorships,
raffle donations and the purchase of VIP table packages.
