Residents will have chance to score a tasty deal while helping the community during the Rotary Club of Selma’s annual barbecue fundraiser.

The club has been preparing for its big event, which is set for Friday at Bloch Park from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The group cleaned the grills Wednesday with plans to dedicate Thursday and Friday morning to cooking the Boston butts they will have for sale at $35 each.

The profits from the event will go toward the club’s ongoing service projects.

“The Rotary’s motto is service above self, and we definitely make every effort to strive to that,” said McNair Ramsey, president of the Rotary Club of Selma. “We’re always willing to try to do things that will enhance our community.”

The organization has funded scholarships for high school students in the Dallas County area, provided for the Bosco Food Kitchen, donated to the Salvation Army and much more since it was founded in 1916.

Rotarians have been and will continue selling advanced tickets for the event.

Event Chair Troy Harvill can be reached at Pine Belt Wireless in Selma at (334) 878-8000.

The Boston butts can be picked up Friday between 11 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.
