The Hub Billiard Club Fire Department Fundraiser

The $5 Pork and Pool Dinner is Tuesday August 28th at 7PM.

Greetings!

A few weeks back I received a donation request from the Island Park Fire Department as part of their annual fundraising event.

It got me thinking about how we could help this organization that does so much for the community. I don’t know about you, but I continue to be amazed at the dedication and passion these folks bring to this very important job, and they are all volunteers!

So we came up with the idea of a dinner and pool special. We call it the $5 Pool and Pork Dinner. If you haven’t heard of this here’s the scoop…

For only $5 you get a slow cooked pork or chicken entree, various side dishes and FREE pool all night. There will be a 50/50 raffle and give aways from local businesses.

You get a great deal on dinner and pool and a chance to win cash and prizes, and the fire department gets some well deserved funds. Win/win right?

The $5 Pork and Pool Dinner is Tuesday August 28th at 7PM.

We ask that you buy tickets in advance so we know how much food to cater.

Get tickets at www.thehubbc.comYou can pay with all major cards and PayPal. Or you can stop by The Hub and buy tickets from any of our staff.

I hope you jump on this opportunity to help a great cause and join us for a fun night.

As always, call with any questions.

See you soon,

Brad Turner
