Jones Memorial United Methodist will host its 41st annual Men's Club Barb-B-Que on Saturday, Sept. 24, from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. The church is at 4131 Ringgold Road; East Ridge, 423 624-6073.
The BBQ is sponsored and organized by the Jones Memorial United Methodist Men's Club
and enlists the help of the entire congregation. The club makes it own Bar-B-Que sauce, homemade cole slaw, baked beans, tea and lemonade.
Officials said, "The funds raised by the Bar-B-Que go to purchase coats for children in need in the elementary schools in East Ridge. We also provide a New Testament in the pocket of each coat. The funds made also go to help youth camps, youth assemblies and other charitable projects for both the church and the community of East Ridge. Our United Methodist Woman have a Bake and Craft Sale with proceeds going toward women's and children's ministries. They provide caps and gloves to go in all the coats. Our children's department and youth are involved and benefit from the proceeds to help finance some of their projects as well."
Over the past 27 years 2,411 coats have been purchased for these children in need totaling
over $58,233.

Tom Baugh has been chairman of the Bar-B-Que for 39 years with son, Jeff Baugh joining him
as Co-Chairman 21 years ago. Tom Martin started the Bar-B-Que forty-one years ago by getting men in the church together. The youth go out and sell tickets and deliver to local businesses in East Ridge that Saturday morning. The Children's Department gathers orders... prepares them for delivery.
