OLD LYME – The Crosby Fund for Haitian Education will hold its Annual Haitian Dinner on Sunday, May 18, at 5:30 p.m.

The dinner will take place at the First Congregational Church of Old Lyme (FCCOL), 2 Ferry Rd.

The authentic Haitian dinner will be catered by Mommy’s Delicious Food in Norwich.

All these Haitian students have benefited from scholarships given by The Crosby Fund—it is important to remember that education is not free in Haiti.

Becky Crosby will offer a Powerpoint presentation sharing the ongoing work of the Fund in Haiti.

Haitian art will be for sale and a raffle for a Haitian painting will also be held.

All proceeds benefit The Crosby Fund. The event is sponsored by the Ladies Benevolent Society of FCCOL.

The Crosby Fund was established in 2004 by the Rev. Rebecca Crosby and her husband, Ted. It provides scholarships for students at the primary, secondary, technical and university level to prepare them for professional careers.

The education of these proud graduates has been made possible by The Crosby Fund.

A donation of $15 per person covers dinner and dessert. Seating is limited. Reservations are required.
