“Saturday on Thursday” is set for 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. May 16 at Eagle Church, 5801 S. Main St., Whitestown. Former Colts punter Hunter Smith will emcee the luncheon.
“Jeff will be talking about his career with the Colts and his plans for the future,” said Rotary member Claire Lasley. “We were really happy to be able to arrange for Hunter to emcee because he is a riot – definitely an entertainer. The two of them have a great dynamic together so we are really expecting the audience to have a great time.”
The luncheon, which is open to the public and catered by Serenity deli and bakery, will also feature a live auction. Items up for grabs include four tickets to the Indianapolis 500 with a suite, a dinner party catered by a chef and Colts memorabilia.
Money raised supports a variety of projects, such as literacy efforts, reading programs and the Hussey Mayfield Library, according to Lasley.
“The money has also been used to build a few structures at the Lions Park and for food banks and scholarships as well as educational and health-related work overseas,” she said.
