The Ocracoke Community Pool Association is making lunch for everyone on Sunday in the Community Center.
Actually, it’s a fundraiser and it’s more like a “pop-up restaurant,” said Ruth Toth, president of the association.
In addition to a variety of food and baked goods, the group will conduct three raffles. Raffle sales also will be held on the Variety Store porch today (March 6) from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m.
Lunch offerings will be available Sunday to eat in or take out from noon to 2 p.m. as follows:
Soups $5 (12-ounce cup) steph’s Thai chicken soup
Cafe Atlantic tomato alfredo (dairy but no meat) vegetable soup (vegan)
Cathy and Lulu’s chicken tortilla soup chili
Sandwiches $5
Joe’s pork barbeque on a bun
Cafe Atlantic pimiento cheese (white or wheat bread) egg salad
Hummus and veggie wrap chicken tamales
Salads $5
Cafe Atlantic house salad (salad topped with chickpeas, goat cheese and roasted sunflower seeds
Antipasto (salad topped with pepperoni, salami, fresh mozzarella, olives) potato salad; Cole slaw
Raffle items include the new book, “Ocracoke Untamed,” a glossy coffee table-type book of island bird life by Karen Rhodes and Matt Janson, an Easter basket, and a quilt. T-shirts will be on sale for $10 each.
The pool association recently purchased 1.4 acres of land off Cutting Sage Road for the island’s first-ever community swimming pool.
The parcel is big enough to house a six-lane, 25-meter pool that will serve residents and visitors alike.
