Merrill Gardens at Kirkland will celebrate Support Our Troops Week by hosting a pasta dinner with all the fixings straight from the mess hall from 6-8 p.m. June 23 at 201 Kirkland Ave.

All food and beverages will be donated by Merrill Gardens. The event will also feature a no-host bar, dancing and live music.

The dinner is open to the general public for a minimum $10 donation. All money collected will be donated to the USO.

For the past 69 years, the USO (United Service Organizations) has been the bridge between the American public and the U.S. military. In times of peace and war, the USO delivers its special brand of comfort, morale and recreational services to the military. The USO is a congressionally chartered, private, non-profit organization that relies on the generosity of individuals and corporations to support USO activities.
