Legion raises $3,000 for cenotaph

Surf and Turf dinner was very successful

Editor ,The Times:

On Saturday, Sept. 30, Royal Canadian Legion Branch 259 held a very successful Surf and Turf dinner.

This was our first major fundraising event to raise money for a new cenotaph in Reg Small Park.

The 80 tickets for the steak and lobster dinner were very quickly sold out.

Net profit was approximately $3,000 and comprised of ticket sales, bar sales, donations and silent auction proceeds.
