Raising the roof in Sudbury

The roof, the roof, the roof is.... well... thirsty, so let the nice little roof drink some martinis? Yeah, that's it, that's how that song goes!

Saturday March the 9th,  St. Mary’s Ukrainian Catholic Church in Sudbury hosted their “Raise the Roof” Fundraiser. The church is in need of a new roof and Father Peter Bodnar came up with the idea for the fundraiser. When Ukrainian Credit Union Limited heard of this noble venture, we were more than happy to sponsor the event and send our branch manager Angela Andlar to help the parishioners celebrate.

The star attraction of the evening was the band Zirka. The dinner was a 5 course meal of roast beef, pork chops, roasted baby potatoes and baked pear with ice cream (hey, that's only four items, but we are going to let that pass, our intrepid correspondent from Sudbury probably counted the martinis as the first course).

The evening also included a silent auction and a dessert buffet at 10pm.
