Loaves and Fishes Benefit at Widmer Gasthaus

Widmer Gasthaus

Widmer Gasthaus

Widmer 2009-flyer

Come join us on October 13th, 2009 at the Widmer Gasthaus any time between 4-10pm or 4pm -11pm in the Pub.

With your help we can make this a successful event by remembering to best maximize the restaurant capabilities and thus donation, our guest should try to come during the restaurant off times.

Those would be between 4pm and 6pm and then after 8pm. We know not everyone can come during those times but the important thing is to come!

Also, all parties of 5 or more are encouraged to make reservations and have everyone arrive on time before being seated, this will help your hostess and servers.

I hope to see everyone! Thank you
