The Rochester Junior Women’s Club (RJWC) is now accepting orders for its 19th Annual Lobster Boil Fundraiser and anticipates raising over $5,000.00 for local charities with one of the most-loved area fundraisers.
Many residents of the greater Rochester area anticipate this unique fundraising event. Participants place their orders in advance, and the women of the club will have succulent, fresh, live, one to one-and-a-half-pound lobsters flown in fresh from Maine on the day of pick up at the Older Person’s Commission (OPC) on September 30, 2017. Customers can choose to pick up their lobsters live or cooked. All orders must be received by September 14.

Lobster Boil is a great time to entertain friends and family or enjoy a quiet dinner for two. Customers choose the pick-up time; and simply “drive-thru” to pick up orders, making this one of the most convenient and unique fundraising dinners. Rochester Junior Women’s club members will cook, wrap, and orders ready for pick up, using packaging designed to keep lobsters hot for up to two hours.
The Rochester Junior Women’s Club anticipates raising over $5,000.00 for local charities including Career Dress, OU Cares, Sew Much Comfort, the Professional Law Enforcement Association Foundation, and the Older Person’s Commission.

We love hosting this fundraiser and hope to exceed our goal in support of local charities,” says Donna Affeldt, chair of this event, along with Sharon Heussner.
Lobsters are $21 each or customers can opt to order a “Baker’s Dozen,” receiving 13 lobsters for the price of 12. Orders can be placed online and must be received by September 14.

About Rochester Media
How can an organization organize a fundraiser by torturing live animals?!? No sign of intelligence in these humans. It’s really disturbing.
I understand where you’re coming from Paul, which is why I don’t eat lobsters. And, many New England lobster traps are killing whales. However, to cook lobsters you boil them alive – crazy sounding – but that is how they do it in every restaurant. I don’t hold the organization at fault here because it’s just how it’s done. That being said, I don’t eat lobster.
