The Regional Association of West Quebecers (RAWQ) is hosting its annual Quiz Night, a highly
anticipated event in the English-speaking community. Scheduled for 6:30 pm on March 21 at the
Knights of Columbus Hall, 78 rue Principale in Aylmer, the evening promises engaging trivia,
hors d’oeuvres, a cash bar and a silent auction. As RAWQ’s biggest fundraiser of the year, Quiz
Night supports the organization’s programming while bringing the community together.

Participants will compete in teams of six, answering a variety of trivia questions moderated by a
seasoned quiz master. Each table of six will work together to outscore competing tables, with
prizes awarded to the first and second-place teams. Tickets are priced at $15 per person or $80
for a full table of six. Due to high demand, purchasing tickets early is advised, as only 90 tickets
are available in total this year.

The silent auction will feature a range of donated prizes, including gift baskets, gift certificates
and artwork. RAWQ is still accepting donations for the auction and encourages local businesses
and individuals to contribute. “The generosity of our community makes this occasion special,”
event organizer Tim Foisy noted. “Every contribution helps support our programs.”

Tickets can be purchased online through RAWQ’s website at westquebecers.ca . For more
details or to donate items for the auction, individuals and businesses can contact RAWQ’s office
at (819) 682-9602.

“It’s a fun night and a great way to shake off the winter blues,” Foisy added. “We look forward to
welcoming everyone to take part in this popular event for a great cause.”
