Victoria-Harbourside Rotary Club offering locally made fruitcakes for tasty fundraiser.


Local Rotarians are once again getting into the spirit of the season with fruitcakes that not only taste good, they do good. These cakes are lovingly handmade by Harbourside Rotarians & friends and family, using a recipe that has been handed down through the generations of the club president, Ann Moskow. (The cognac probably helps).
