Midway Motors is picking up cost of meals. Members are being asked to bring an item to donate to a drive to provide school supplies for students in need. Monetary donations also will be accepted.

Mechanical pencils, spiral notebooks, loose-leaf binder paper, three-ring binders, dry-erase markers with chisel tips, and scientific calculators costing around $10 are among the items suggested.

Reservations for the luncheon are being accepted until July 31 at the chamber office.
