Honey Brook Lions Club offers fish fry dinners
E
very Friday during Lent, members of the Honey Brook Lions Club can be found at the club’s Community Center, 14 Mount Pleasant Road, Honey Brook, preparing homemade takeout dinners as part of their annual Lenten Fish Fry. Meals, which began on March 7, will be offered from 4 to 6:30 p.m. on March 28 and April 4, 11 and 18. The dinner includes a choice of a 6-ounce haddock fillet or fried shrimp, homemade macaroni and cheese with stewed tomatoes and a dinner roll. Additional
quantities of each item can also be purchased. The fish fry started several years ago, and it has become very popular, one Friday serving 200 diners. “It started before COVID, and people could dine in. So, once COVID hit, we started the carryout, and we have been doing that ever since,” explained Lions Club member Dave Deihm. About 20 volunteers work in shifts to prepare and serve the dinners and then complete cleanup tasks. Proceeds from the fundraiser, as well as the club’s chicken potpie
and chicken corn soup sales, benefit organizations that the Lions Club supports, including the Honey Brook Community Library, the Honey Brook Fire Company, Steeple to People Ministries and the Honey Brook Youth Center. “The money goes to our charity giveaway at the end of the Lions Club year to local and international Lions Club (charities),” noted Lions Club member Alfreda Labs. She added that the Lions Club holds a check presentation ceremony at the Community Center on the second Thursday in June. In 2024, the club gave away grants totaling $16,595.
A mosey through the mud Walk, 5K to benefit two local nonprofits BY FRANCINE FULTON
Reg istration is currently underway for the second annual Great Marsh Mud Mosey to be held on Saturday, April 12, at 10 a.m. at the Great Marsh Institute (GMI), 34 Moores Road, Elverson. The event, which is being presented by GMI and ChesCo Search Dogs, will feature a 5K run and 1-mile walk. Runners and walkers of all skill levels are invited to take part in the 5K or walk, both of which will travel a course throughout
the marsh, through the woods and along ponds and finish on a grassy surface. Because parking is limited, the walk and run can only accommodate 150 participants. Packet pickup will take place on April 12 from 9 to 10 a.m. Attendees will receive their packets as they drive onto the property. At last year’s inaugural event, participants had to deal with windy weather conditions and, as the name implies, a muddy trail. “We had 50-mile-an-hour winds, and a lot of trees were
