On March 1st, is the chicken dinner at Boyertown Middle School West. This is a BASH Music League fundraiser. The BASH MU, unfortunately, could not do their annual Arlen Saylor cavalcade, which raises a lot of money, so they ask that people come to the chicken dinner fundraiser and buy chicken so the music league can go to their trip to France and the small ensembles tour in Williamsburg.
