Youth at Leaside United Church made a difference this past Sunday, raising approximately $800 for local and global projects that the church supports. The group, known as LUCY, (Leaside United Church Youth) sold 37 tickets to congregation and community members to enjoy a meal at Chez Lucy, a fine dining experience held at Leaside United. The group transformed the auditorium into a magical space and spent Sunday afternoon chopping, caramelizing, roasting, grilling and steaming. Guests arriving at 6 p.m. enjoyed a delectable three-course meal and were treated to top-notch service as well as a number of live acts performed by the youth. It was a spectacular evening filled with food, laughter and most importantly, community.
