Serra Club of Winnipeg - Serra Club Dinner Coordinator

The Serra Club of Winnipeg is looking for someone to take on the job of the Annual Serra Club Dinner, which is usually held in October of each year.  The purpose of the dinner is to raise money and help defray the costs for priests entering the seminary. In the past years, the Serra Club has managed to do the job.   However, many of the older Serrans have passed away. This problem, coupled with a lack of interest in membership, has left the Serra Club with no one who would take on the job. Keep in mind that there is help – a lot of help. There just isn’t a main person to send out letters in August, keep track of the money and people attending, and, in the last 2 or 3 days, make up the seating for the dinner. This is the main and most important job and the one we would like to fill. The Serra Club has sponsored this dinner for at least 40 years and has supported the Archbishop.  It is really a shame to see this work end.  If you have the ability or know of someone who does, please contact Marlene Coughlin at (204) 471- 4609.
