Loaves and Fishes - Fundraising Breakfast.

We had a wonderful breakfast at the Loaves and Fishes Reunion at the Ziontario Campgrounds yesterday. The eggs and bacon were donated by Greyridge Eggs (thanks to Scott Brookshaw), the pancakes were donated by Isabelle Mahoney, and the juices were donated by Coca-Cola Canada (thanks to Nancy Brookshaw). The Mahoney's and their crew did a great job cooking and servers included Ken Barrows and the guest ministers - the Chavala-Smith's.

We had a smaller group than expected, with about 75 diners (most of the Stratford Congregation were at a funeral service for Vernice Corlett). However, we really did the job in the eating (and giving) departments. Overall, we raised $1,030 for the Gordon Curry Memorial Scholarship Fund, which will go to ensure the continued education of a deserving young girl in our program in Honduras.

Thank you to everyone who participated, organized or ate to help out with this great cause.
