- Save the Date: ‘Lobsterfest’ returns November 6
St. John’s chapter of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew men’s service group has selected Saturday, November 6, as the date for its annual ‘Lobsterfest’ charity fundraiser. In honor of recently fallen Brother Al Kromer, who had worked so hard on so many previous Lobsterfests (among countless other events), a portion of the proceeds from this year’s sale will go to the Deanna Lyn Kromer Scholarship Fund at Children’s Oncology Services, Inc. The balance will support the PADS ministry and Episcopal Relief and Development. Watch this space for more details in the weeks to come.
