Spaghetti Dinner to benefit Oklahoma School for the Blind

Wednesday, September 20, 2023

MUSKOGEE, Okla. – Spaghetti and meatballs will top the menu and the plates on Tuesday, September 26, when the Oklahoma School for the Blind partners with Muskogee Masonic Lodge #28 to host their annual fundraiser.

The public is invited to attend from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Bedouin Shrine Center at 201 S. 6th Street in Muskogee.

The cost is $10 at the door.

OSB’s award-winning Jazz Band will entertain beginning at 6:00 p.m.

OSB staff have organized silent and dessert auctions.

“We are so grateful to the Masons, the Shriners and many volunteers who make the spaghetti dinner, dessert and silent auction a big success every year,” OSB Superintendent Rita Echelle said. “Their generosity helps our students reach their educational goals and prepare to be employed, taxpaying citizens.”

The Oklahoma School for the Blind is the statewide resource for the education of students who are blind or visually impaired. Residential and commuter students meet or exceed all state-mandated education requirements. They receive specialized instruction in braille, orientation and mobility, optimum use of low vision, adaptive equipment technology and tactile graphic skills not readily available at other public schools in the state. OSB also provides thousands of hours of free services each year for students attending other public schools, their families and educations.
