Dinner in Howell Helps Local Groups in Howell

With the week coming to an end and Thanksgiving now less than a week away cooking dinner on a Friday night may not be something you are overly excited about. Fortunately in Howell there are at least two dining options that can also help other people.

Ruby Tuesday on Route 9 will be hosting a fundraiser for the Howell United U8 Boys Thunder squad. With the attached flyer the restaurant will donate 20 percent of the food bill to the local soccer team.

Down in the Ramtown section the Howell Elks will be hosting a chicken parm dinner to help with the medical costs of a family with a young cancer patient. For just $10 dinner on the Elks will help the family of 8-year-old Graysen McDow as they work their way through their brave battle with cancer.

The National Weather Service is calling for a 40 percent chance of showers on an otherwise cloudy day with a high of 58 expected. More rain could fall tonight when the low temperature is expected to drop to around 39 degrees. The low tonight is actually higher than the high expected for Sunday which the National Weather Service estimates will be near just 34 degrees on a mostly sunny breezy day.

Today marks 50 years since President John F. Kennedy was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald while riding in a parade through Dallas Texas. British pirate Edward “Blackbeard” Teach was killed in a battle off the Virginia coast on this date in 1718. In music, it was on this date in 1968 at the Beatles released the “White Album.”

Famous birthdays today include musician Steve Van Zandt, tennis legend Billie Jean King and actress Jamie Lee Curtis.
