The Big Boy Restaurant at 497 Zeeb Road will host a dinner on April 8 to raise money for the Dexter Food Bank. The twist is that members of the Dexter Area Chamber of Commerce board of directors will comprise the waitstaff from 5 to 8 p.m.
"That's me too," said Jill Love, a DACC board member. "I haven't waited tables in a long time, so no guarantees of the service, but I'll try hard!"
All gratuities will go to the food bank, as well as 10 percent of total sales during the three-hour period. There will also be a 50/50 raffle and silent auction.
"The food will be good, the cause even better," Love said. "Help us jump-start the food bank location in Dexter."
Businesses wishing to help by donating products or services for the silent auction can drop off donations at the DACC office or call 734-426-0887 to arrange a pick-up.
Park commissioners needed
The Village of Dexter Parks Commission has open seats that need community-minded folks to step up to the plate. Those interested in participating on the commission can submit an application to Allison Bishop at 8123 Main St. or abishop@villageofdexter.org.
The Parks Commission meets the third Tuesday of every month at 7 p.m. and is responsible for planning for the village's parks and recreation, as well as preparing the village's Parks and Recreation Master Plan.
School bond forum
Dexter Community Schools officials are urging residents to learn as much as they can about the May 6 bond proposal, which would provide the district with $47.8 million for work around the district.
The first forum is scheduled for 7 to 8 p.m. March 25 in the Creekside Intermediate School cafeteria. District officials will talk about the steps leading up to the bond, why a bond was chosen as a way to pay for improvements and the individual projects chosen for inclusion in the bond.
Celebration concert
The Dexter Community Band will present its final concert for the 2007-08 season at 3 p.m. April 27.
The concert is free and will take place at the Dexter High School Center for the Performing Arts, 2200 N. Parker Road.
Under the direction of William W. Gourley, the band includes members from many surrounding towns and is supported by Dexter Community Education.
