PERCH FRY FOR KIDS

The Rotary Club of Brantford has had a busy fall so far!  The club recently held its 6th Annual Rotary Perch Fry on Saturday, October 5, 2019, in support of the Boys’ & Girls’ Club of Brantford.  This year’s event featured a new venue (the gymnasium of the Boys’ & Girls’ Club) and had a Hockey Night in Canada theme.  The event sold out, and additional tables had to be set up for the diners! Guests were treated to All You Can Eat perch, along with all the traditional sides and salads, catered by a local restaurant, The Sherwood, which is owned and operated by Rotarian Dennis Duce.
 
The night featured a photo booth, a Live Auction, live music by Last Band Standing and the club even live-streamed the Leafs/Habs hockey game.  The final fundraising tally isn’t known yet, but it was a great night and another successful year for the event! Congratulations to event Chair Andrew Schwalm and his committee!
