Barbecue for NICU: The fourth annual Newton Medical Center Auxiliary barbecue will be held on May 16 from noon to 3 p.m. at Stalvey’s Restaurant on U.S. Highway 278. Tickets are $6 for a plate of barbecue, Brunswick stew, slaw and bread. There also will be homemade desserts to choose from for a small additional cost. Patrons can either drive through to pick up their plates or dine inside. All of the food is donated by Jim and Sharon Stalvey, who allow the Auxiliary to apply 100 percent of the ticket price to the neonatal intensive care equipment fund. The auxiliary is over halfway to their $350,000 goal for NICU equipment. Tickets are available at Newton Medical Center Gift Shop, The Cinderella Shop, from any NMC Volunteer, or by calling (770) 788-6553.
