The Dickinson House in Oglesby will host a fundraiser fried chicken dinner on Monday, May 18, at CortiLeno’s Pub in Oglesby.

Funds raised will be directed toward improvements to the facility, which hosts many family activities, birthday parties, bridal showers, church and organizational meetings, sports teams, and businesses throughout the year.

Meals include fried chicken, fries, salad, bread, and a brownie for dessert. Service will be from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m., dine-in or carryout.

Tickets are $15 and are available at City Hall, Peterlin Perona law offices, from any board member, or at the door.
