              <text>Hosting a fish fry event is one of the ways the Pigeon Community Multicultural Development Center raises their funds. This particular event was in preparation for the summer time expenses needed for activities and other events. This event was held in 2014 during the spring. One of the many fundraisers they hold, this fish fry is essential for the Pigeon Center to stay afloat throughout the year. The money raised will go towards repairs for the center, summer camp for the children of the community, and food banks.</text>
