Soup, salad fund raiser Nov. 30

The Canadian Cancer Society is looking for another successful 'soup and salad' luncheon again this year.

With last year's event raising $18,000, the cancer society is gearing up to prepare for the onslaught of diners on Nov. 30 from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Leamington's Portuguese Club.

The luncheon will feature over 30 soups prepared and donated by area restaurants and organizations and include a salad bar, including fresh produce donated by local greenhouse growers.

Event chair John Woelk said the entire event is organized and run by volunteers, including the ladlers.

In addition to the locally prepared soups, and locally grown vegetables, Woelk said they also have locally grown flowers, fresh buns, cake, coffee, tea, displays, jewelry for sale and prizes.

He said any food leftover is donated locally as well — to the Salvation Army food bank.

Anyone wishing to become a sponsor or make a donation is asked to contact Woelk at johnwoel@hotmail.com.
