FISH FRY SETS DECEMBER RECORD The December 14, 2018 Fish Fry set a new 1 day December record of 503 dinners served. Big kudos to all the volunteers that helped make this a big success. With the Winter season upon us and the snowbirds travel south to warmer climates, the Fish Fry needs new volunteers to take their places. Please consider volunteering to help out the lunch or dinner shift. You can pick the date and the shift (lunh or dinner) that s convenient for you. You ll make some new friends and help support this important Club fundraiser. There is a sign-up sheet on the bullentin board by the restroom on the Club side, or call one of this year s Co-Charimen: Mike Anderson 616-460-9169, Mike Sanchez 616-481-3965 or Joe Host 616-262-0573.
