As you are all well aware, the COVID-19 pandemic is upon us and we want to send our thanks to everyone in the community for their diligence in ensuring that we are all doing our part in keeping the risk at a minimum through isolation, social distancing, hygiene, and other methods.
With this in mind, the Belgrave Kinsmen are refraining from hosting events until the situation is under control and it is safe again to hold public events. With this, we have made the decision to cancel the annual ladies night that was scheduled for April 18th. Other upcoming events will be scheduled only if it is considered safe at that time. Although the events that we host are a fantastic way to connect as a community while raising funds for groups and charities, we have to ensure that we continue to serve the community's greatest need while following public health recommendations and aligning with the expectations of the public.

- Priority food service (receive meal courses first)
- Choice of destination for winning bid proceeds
Bidding starts at $400 (the cost of 8 tickets). Winning bidders will be able to choose a charity that the excess bid amount (above the ticket value of the bid). Example charities or groups that we have recently donated to are (but not limited to):
- Kinsmen Club of Belgrave

- 100th Anniversary Elementary School Fair
Bidding closes on March 22, 2020, at 11:59 PM. General ticket sales will start on March 23rd.
