’Tis the season to indulge: Reserve a seat at the St. Francis Parish and Community Center’s annual beefsteak dinner – on Friday, Dec. 5, in the center gymnasium in Brant Beach – to savor all-you-can-eat slow-roasted filet mignon, pasta, salad and dessert. Doors open at 4:30 the night of the event, and dinner will be served at 6:30 p.m.

“To enhance the ambience, there will be music, a wine cork pull, exciting auctions and a 50/50 raffle,” organizers note.
