LOCAL FUNDRAISING - Go To A Fish Fry!!

Written by

Among the amazing gifts the beautiful Windy gives to me on a regular basis, are great ideas!  Last year at this time she suggested we go to a local fundraising fish fry. GREAT idea!!  OK, not earth shattering, but sometimes we need to be reminded that local civic, church and charity groups need events like that to support their charge.

Last year on the first Friday we could, we went to the Streetsboro Eagles Club for thier fish fry. It was delicious.  Huge fish, and sides, and it was really fun.  This year we are going to stay longer, and hang for a while as it won't be our first time.  It felt good to support local folks that do good work.  Even with our busy lives over the past generation or so, it is still good to see civic groups have an important place in our towns.  My dad was a Kiwanian for most of his adult life. He went to the meetings, coached little league sponsored baseball, and was well known around our town of Berea.

I remember going with him as a young kid to the Pancake And Sausage Breakfasts that he worked.  I thought I was a big shot.  I'd get up real early and go in with him to Roehm Jr. High School and help out.  I'm not sure how much help I was, but I wore an apron that was 15 sizes too big, and was part of the team.

When you go to a local fry this year, you will feel like part of the team too. You'll certainly feel like a part of the community, as there is a goodness in these events that can't be captured by a restaurant. Plus, the food is always good.

Please support your local groups, go to a fry!
