Pete Previte’s sauce will be featured at the Kiwanis Club spaghetti supper tonight. Pete—of Italian heritage, of ONU teaching fame, and of Bluffton restaurant fame—makes the sauce for the main course every year. And, he makes cannoli, too. Last year 338 people dined at the Kiwanis fundraiser to support youth activities in the community. Tickets will be available at the door. Serving is from 4:30-7 p.m. in the Ada Schools cafeteria.
