The Renfrew Refugee Welcome Group says its first sponsorship of a Syrian refugee family was a success, according to group member Henry Venema.
Its obligation to the family of four who now call Renfrew home ends at the end of February.
Venema says the uncle and the aunt of the current family’s spouse and their five boys have been in Jordan for a number of years after leaving Syria.
The Renfrew Refugee Welcome Group decided that on Friday February 14th, Valentine’s Day, it will host a fundraising dinner to help accomplish the task.
Dinner gives you a choice of chicken or beef, and the Syrian family in Renfrew is bringing dessert.
Doors open at 6:00PM February 14th.
Supper starts at 630PM.
Advance tickets are $20/adult, children 12 and under eat for $10.
You can also purchase tickets at door for $25.
