From Lobster To The Golf Course

Forget the mayo--62 feet of lobster roll brings in a lot of dough.

Chair of the St. Andrews Playground Fundraising Committee Isabelle Micheud says the Lobster Roll-A-Palooza last weekend sold out in 40 minutes and raised over $28 hundred dollars for the restoration of the community playground.

Micheud tells Tide News the next fundraiser is a golf tournament at the Algonquin Resort and if you're interested, teams of 4 can register at the Scotiabank. Micheud says, "And the reason we are asking folks to register at the Scotiabank is because Scotiabank has agreed to match any of the entry fees that are made at the bank." She says the entry fee is $300 for a team of four and they still have room for a few more teams.

Micheud says they have raised $80,000 so far, but need a total of $120,000 by the end of July for the restoration project.
