Goldie's dinner is back at the Red Bluff Community and Senior center from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 16. This time it will be a spaghetti dinner with homemade meat sauce, mixed greens salad, french bread and the orange dream des - sert that was a winner at the So- noma County Fair. Tehama County Cattlewomen are providing the ground round steak for the meat sauce, and Umpqua Bank is donating its cof - fee. Tickets are $10 with children younger than 5 free, and other chil- dren $4. With prior reservation a limited number of dinners with gluten-free pasta and dessert will be available. Reservations may be made at 527-8177 or 527-4589. Tehama County Young Marines will be greeting guests and helping serve again this year. The annual dinner commemo - rates the time when the Red Bluff City Council recognized Goldie Walston for giving the spark that enabled the city to apply for grants to build the center. But the dinner also honors all those who worked for the cause all the years. Walston was an elderly widow when she decided she wanted to see the community center actu - ally built during her lifetime. The need was well recognized, but the funds were not there. In the sum- mer of 1983, she talked to Dennis Fischer, then city manager, about what it would take. He suggested $20,000 would show community support to ap - ply for grants. In August she and a group of her friends set out dec- orated coffee cans for donations. One of the first was in Mike Folino's Sweet Shoppe. Because Goldie did not drive, Rachel Walton drove her around town setting out the cans. On Sept. 12, 1983, she made the first deposit with the city. Gene Penne became one of her advisers, and the group went through the lengthy process of in - corporation and achieving non- profit status as a 501(c)3 organi- zation. Urged on by Goldie, the group raised money every way it could think of. It reached the $20,000 goal and kept on working. The city applied for a grant, and with the diligent work of many people, the state awarded funds to Tehama County. The process was more complicated, but in 1989 ground was broken on city-owned property on the corner of South Jackson and Kimball. Even though incomplete, the center opened its doors on Janu - ary 18, 1990. At the request of the city, the auxiliary paid more than $50,000 of money it had raised for tables, chairs, caddies, furniture, window coverings, stage curtains, sports equipment, dishes, flatware and half the cost of the walk-in re - frigerator-freezer. It also paid thousands for con- crete, stucco, asphalt and light standards for the unfinished cov- ered walkway and parking lot. Official dedication was in June, 1992, and Goldie was given a bou- quet of roses in recognition. She never stopped raising money for the center. Just two weeks before her death on Sept. 23, 1993, she was selling baked goods at a sidewalk sale. By then her focus was on a youth wing on the west side of the building. In 10 years she had seen a dream mate - rialize. At her death, Effie Bonner the last of the original group, was elected president of the auxiliary, and she continued the rest of her life. But the work goes on, and the annual dinner and fall craft faire are paying for center improve - ments and furnishings. The total has now reached $133,310.22. The original tables, chairs, dishes, flat- ware have needed replacing. But a major expenditure was $2,254.06 for paint to re-paint the entire in- terior last year.
