The Community Breakfast on July 1st was a great success. The Committee planned for 150 people but served approximately 240. It sold out and people (approx. 15) had to be turned away.
We apologize for any inconvenience. The $560 raised that morning went to GP Vanier Junior High School in Fall River for their Beautification Program. A big Thank You goes to all the Volunteers and Sponsors!
