On May 8 the Rockmosa community centre will again be rocking with the sounds of the Good Brothers.
The proceeds from this year’s event, which starts with dinner at 6pm, will help the Rockwood and District Lions and Lioness Clubs meet their many community obligations.
“Every year we try to find creative ways to give back to the community with these fundraising events,” said organizer Doris Ens.
“What better way than a night out with ‘Good’ music, good food, and good fun.”
Last year’s event was a great success, with 250 attending and almost $6,000 raised for the Weekend to End Breast Cancer. And Ens said the Good Brothers enjoyed the community spirit in Rockwood so much, they had little trouble making the decision to come back again.
Ens herself continues to be impressed by the generosity of the Rockwood-area community. She noted Guelph-Eramosa council recently agreed to waive the fee for the hall and over 60 local businesses have donated items or gift certificates for the event.
She added another crucial behind-the-scenes helper is Grace Nellis, who volunteers her time and talent to create all the posters and tickets for the fundraiser.
Tickets are $30 each for adults or $55 for a couple, $25 each for seniors or $45 for a senior couple, $12 for children aged five to 12 years old and children under five are free.
For tickets call Doris at 519-856-9419, Grace at 519-856-9650 or Bob at 519-856-4444 or pick them up at the Lions pancake breakfast at Rockmosa on April 18.
