Our first monthly fish fry was a huge success.  Due to a snow storm in January, we had to cancel our very first fish fry of the year.  Our February event fell on the first Friday in Lent.  I think many people were anxious to get out and enjoy a wonderful meal.  Our first customer arrived at 4:15 and we were busy the whole evening, until serving ended at 7:00 p.m.  We had approximately 150 people come through our building and everyone loved the meal!!  People were connecting with friends, some made new friends and we even had a couple who had never been here before sign up for membership at The Gathering Place!  There are many good places to enjoy a Wisconsin Fish Fry and Rock County has a number of them.  But, The Gathering Place's once a month fund raiser is not to be missed!  Delicious food, friends and laughter and an all around enjoyable evening.  Thanks to all the volunteers and the Boy Scout and Venture Troop # 471 for all of their hard work!  Our next fish fry is Friday, March 16th!
