FEBRUARY 9TH, 2024:
Hello Award Winning Fish Friars! We have had another hugely successful night! Our last year Week #1 attendance was 485. This year we grew to a whopping 602 meals and it’s not even Lent yet! We estimate about half of the 602 were in Hall Diners and it was bulging!! We are truly blessed to have so many high quality volunteers who dig in and get it done! Thanks so much for all you do! At about 6:30 Jason Zwart stood outside to tell upcoming customers we only had shrimp left and estimated about 50 cars passed through & unfortunately left the lot. Looking forward to another successful event next Friday! God’s Blessings on All of You!! Tom & Carol
