Charity fish fry for Pine meadow

Deb Kelford | Aug 17, 2016

The “friends of Pine Meadows Nursing Home” (Northbrook) would like to thank the community and seasonal visitors of Plevna and area for supporting our second Charity Fish Fry, held in Plevna on July 20, 2016. It was very gratifying to see the busload of 24 Pine Meadows senior residents and staff roll up to join us for the fish fry dinner. Feedback received from the guests indicated that the fish, chips, salads, beans and ice cream left all very full and satisfied.

Even though the total numbers were down this year, we were able to donate for the Pine Meadows residents fund $1007.25 after the expenses of $1471 were deducted from the total proceeds. Projected expenses going up this year and rumours of hall charges next year have caused “the friends” to evaluate whether to continue with this event next year. Stay tuned.

However, for this year, sincere thanks are extended to North Frontenac Township for donating the hall this year, to the volunteer friends of Pine Meadows for working so hard during the dinner and of course to the people who attended for this worthwhile cause.
