Reche Club dinner to raise funds for schoolhouse

FALLBROOK – The Reche Community Club will sponsor a chicken pot pie dinner on Sept. 26 to raise funds to preserve and maintain the historic schoolhouse at 1319 S. Live Oak Park Road in Fallbrook. The schoolhouse is one of the oldest and most historically-significant buildings in the community.

The dinner will be held at the school from 4 p.m. until 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 26. Dinners will be served at 4, 5 and 6 p.m. and take-out dinners will be available. Besides chicken pot pies, the meal includes mashed potatoes, green beans, a salad, pie for dessert and a choice of lemonade, tea or coffee.

There will also be a raffle and musical entertainment will be provided by Bud Roberds and Jack and Ray Story.

The nonprofit group holds two events a year to raise funds for the one-room schoolhouse that was first located at that site in 1886. The building, which burned in 1896 and was rebuilt that same year, has been maintained as a one-room schoolhouse since classes were shifted elsewhere in 1939. A small group of volunteers raises funds to ensure the school’s survival.
