Ashland’s mayor and Boone County Commissioner Justin Aldred are inviting you to enjoy spaghetti tomorrow in Ashland, while helping to eliminate student lunch debt in the fast-growing Southern Boone R-1 school district.

Mayor Dorise Slinker and the Southern Boone lunch ladies are hosting tomorrow’s event from 11 am to 6 pm at the Southern Boone middle school. The suggested cost is a cash or check donation. Boone County commissioner Aldred is encouraging you to attend as well. Commissioner Aldred addressed about 75 to 100 Columbia-area business leaders and elected officials at this week’s Columbia Regional Economic Development Incorporated (REDI) board meeting, inviting them to attend and to pass the word along.

The menu includes spaghetti, garlic bread, salad, dessert and a drink.
