A group of women honored other mothers around the key city for a special Mother's Day dinner today.

The women from the Auxiliary Legion Post 57 cooked a chicken dinner with all the fixings for families to enjoy on Mother's Day.

For just $5 guests could eat all the chicken, mashed potatoes and deserts they wanted. 

The legion uses all of the profits for community service projects. 

"It is Mother's Day and everybody has a mom and everybody needs to have something done for them, so we thought that this would be a nice way to celebrate," said the Post's Auxiliary president Sandy Wosika, "This is to raise funds to help the veterans and the active military for whatever they may need to have done for them."

This is a yearly event- they also serve a Father's Day dinner.
   
The women are involved in various community service efforts- not just helping local veterans, but also raising money for  a number of charities including the American Caner Society.
