SUMMARY:BIW Support Breakfast
DESCRIPTION:This Saturday the 20th\, we will be putting on a breakfast for folks from BIW. This is a good fund-raiser for us\, last year we fed about 100 people. Anyone who can help out for a few hours please stop by at the Topsham Legion. The cooking crew is pretty well set\, but we need to set up tables & chairs upstairs. We then need to tak them back down & do a wipe down. We will be gathering at the Legion at 5:30am\, if you can’t do that early\, we could use help around 9:30am to start putting away tables\, chairs & doing dishes.
