Nothing Fishy About Free

Joey's Giving Free 2-Piece Fish & Chips Sunday March 25 Joey's to donate $1 for each meal served to Alzheimer Calgary

(Wednesday, March 21, 2007) - "We thought this would be an excellent way to raise money for

our favorite charity the Alzheimer Society of Calgary, and to raise awareness that

Joey's famous Fish and Chips is trans fat free and low in saturated fats," says

Andy Taylor, Joey's Senior VP. "There are a lot of newly arrived Calgary residents

that are not familiar with the Joey's brand as a cozy neighborhood seafood restaurant

that offers high quality seafood at affordable prices. This provides us with an

opportunity to get that message out."



Taylor stressed that the free dine-in meal consisting of two-pieces of Wild Alaskan

Pollock and chips is only at Joey's 620-20 Crowfoot Cr. NW restaurant from 12:00

noon to 8:00 PM Sunday, March 25.
