On Friday January 27th 2012, Mississauga Croatia held its first fundraiser at the Croatian Martyrs church. The event attracted about 125 members and friends of the club who enjoyed a great buffet dinner and helped the club raise money to cover our operational expenses for 2012. The event was supported by a number of sponsors including the following:

–          Molson’s

–          Sharp Electronics

–          International Threadworks

–          S&L pastries

–          Mediterranean Meats

A special thanks for the meal is reserved to Gosp. Tonkovic who came in during the day and made sure that there were ample amounts of food for our guests. Also thanks to Joso at Mediterranean Meats who roasted the pig , lamb and chickens.  Before our dinner , the meal was blessed by Vlc. Josip Priselac  – one of the priests at the Croatian Martyrs  Roman Catholic Church.

After dinner there was ample time to socialize and listen to Tamburica music . To finish the night off we had a raffle or Tombola.

The tombola was quite special with some amazing gifts from our sponsors. The top prize was a great bar fridge donated by Molson’s that was won by Emil Mesic.

The Executive of Mississauga Croatia would like thank all of the people who attended the event or supported the event in any way. Our organization relies on the good will of our members, sponsors and supports without whom we could not exist. Thank you. Hvala. we hope to see everyone again at our next fundraiser.
