Events Update
On the Miramichi, the River Breakfast has become a major fundraiser in the area.  This year, on June 14th, the club expects to serve between 3500 and 4000 breakfasts from 5:30-10:30 am.  That works out to 800 breakfasts an hour!  Staff members from the local hospital volunteer to help serve.

An Appreciation Breakfast was held to thank those who assisted with last year's River Breakfast.  It was well attended and $4,000 was raised to help with this year's event.

Last month, the Club made lots of soup and packaged it for the food bank.  A cash donation of $100 (leftover funds from the project) accompanied the delivery of soup.

An Easter Basket Draw rounded out the month's fund raising efforts.
