The day opened with two (2) breakfast events; one being Rotary and the second Brockville Business totalling some 50 people served. Then BCC staff cater a luncheon for a about 20 for a member and his guests.

Next up was the Fourth Annual Crusader Golf Tournament. The tournament catered to 108 golfers, all saddled up with carts ready for a 12:30 shotgun start. Then when the golf finished and many partook of the BCC's bar service, staff catered a tournament dinner for some 130 in BCC's main dining room.


Now that all sounds like a bust day! But is wasn't done yet! Being catered in the Club's Granite Hall Wednesday evening was the fund-raising Gala for the Kids of Belarus organized by Dave Shaw and his many supporters. Organizers decorated the Granite Hall in spectacular fashion and the stage was set up for a live show by many of the visiting Belarus children. For the evening, BCC staff served a fine dinner to some 190 guests. That totals over 400 guests in 5 different venues served formally throughout Wednesday July 31st..
