Ample food and ample prizes are what attracts regulars to the bi-annual Harrowsmith S & A Club’s biggest fundraiser of the year. The club’s Chinese Auction and dinner, which took place on March 23 at their hall, included an all you can eat Chinese food buffet and numerous prizes donated by generous individuals and businesses in and around the local community. Club member Linda Stewart drew the prize balls for the over 80 guests who attended the popular event and bet their quarters on the plethora of colorful bagged surprises that filled a table at the front of the hall.
Funds raised go towards supporting the numerous events and programs that the club offers families in the community, which include the annual Canada Day celebrations at Centennial Park and the Santa Claus parade. Club members are now recruiting volunteers to assist with the Canada Day celebrations. “Volunteering or becoming a member of the club is really fun and a great way to give back to the community so we are really encouraging people to come out this year and get involved for the Canada Day celebrations”, Linda said. Anyone interested in volunteering can contact Kim Gow at 613-372-0018, Linda Stewart at 613-372-3797 or Pam Morey at 613-372-1578.
