The Newton Salvation Army will be kicking off its holiday fundraising with the annual chicken-noodle dinner on Friday, Nov. 20, from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Following the dinner, a live and silent auction is scheduled and will feature quilted items, themed baskets, collectibles and many other items. The fundraising goal this year is $115,000, the same as last year. Pictured is Capt. Carol Cook arranging some of the items set for the auction.
