A Great Service Idea!
Calgary, Aberta, Canada - For the last couple of years, seven buddies from the pub have been getting together every three months or so, to make pierogis.  They usually spend about 5 or 6 hours, making about 300 pierogis from scratch, that they share amongst themselves. They decided they needed a name, and settled on “The Pierogi Kings.”  The seven guys consist of two retired railway employees, a retired fire Captain, a retired oil man, a meat wholesaler, a radio broadcaster, and a former professional football player. This close knit group of friends then decided that since they have all done, or are still doing pretty well in life, and, given the current state of the Alberta economy, with so many families struggling, they should take the “Pierogi Kings,” to a new level... They should do some charitable work!
 
So, the “Kings,” decided to adopt a family, or two for Christmas. This weekend they are making pierogis, and are selling them to friends and family to raise money for the adoptees. They have also decided to raffle some Flames tickets, and two Texas Mickeys with proceeds also going to the adopted families, in the form of gift cards, children’s gifts, and groceries. “Every kid needs a gift to open on Christmas morning.” says Pierogi King Ron Visnei. “How can you have Christmas, without a Christmas dinner?” says fellow King Norm Decoste.The Pierogi Kings plan to do more good in the community in the new year, whether it be shoveling snow from a senior’s sidewalk, replacing a child’s stolen bike, or what have you. Where there is a need, the Kings would like to help.
