| Carmel Rotary Fish 'n' Chips |
Editor: Mary Shanley

 |
This year is the 14th year of the Fish n Chips dinner in Carmel. This event is totally focused on generating funds for our youth leadership program and our scholarship fund.
|
What is so great about the event is the participation of our members. There is a role for everyone. They sell dinner and raffle tickets, they provide contributions to the baskets of cheers, they are host and hostesses, waiters and waitresses, they bus tables, mop, clean up and deliver the baskets of cheer to winners not present. The food supply, preparation and cooking are done by the restaurant staff to insure that all health codes are met.
We hold it at the restaurant where we have our weekly meetings. We market the event with signage in front of the restaurant, posters in all businesses in the community, press releases and visits to our neighboring Rotary clubs. The event is held usually on a Friday evening during the Season of Lent. As part of our pricing structure we provide a Senior Citizen special for early purchases. The dinner consists of salad, fried filet of fish, french-fries, coleslaw, dessert and a beverage. To add to the evening's festivities we conduct raffles for baskets of cheers.
We have raised thousands of dollars from the event over the years. If you are interested in trying one in your community, please do not hesitate to contact us. Or better yet come and observe this year's event on Friday March 27th and enjoy a delicious fun filled evening! |
