The all-you-can-eat crab portion was only for about an hour or so before the auctions and we unfortunately, did not get our money's worth in terms of crab. I love crab feeds and giving to charity but you may want to investigate feeds other than this one.
Thank you for your feedback. I will ask our volunteer servers to ensure their assigned tables and guests have an enjoyable experience while helping support community volunteering with Belmont Rotarians. Sirinee
Nothing is perfect in Rotary, but perhaps our elimination of Polio throughout the world, or helping provide some 600,000 plus wheelchairs to people who did not have mobility, or more educational grants each year than Rhodes, Fullbright, Rockefeller and Ford Foundations combined comes pretty close. Even Belmont Rotary giving over $500,000 in local school scholarships over the years, $40,000 to the Library may qualify. We are volunteers from all walks of life and professions our Crab Feed has many aspects to it apart being a Fund Raiser so we can support the community as previously described, not the least the chance to connect with our community, make new friends, greet old ones and in general have a great time.
