Two congregations team up to plan the menu, purchase and prepare the food (in St. Charles' kitchen) and serve it. Our guests are primarily seniors, and for many of them, the opportunity to get out and socialize is more important than the food alone. At some dinners, health and human service folks are present to offer blood pressure screening and other help.</span><br style="font-size: 12px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br style="font-size: 12px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="font-size: 12px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">This is a wonderful opportunity to involve our middle and high school members in public service! The younger folks serve as greeters, and wander the dining room with pitchers of milk, water, and perform other helpful favors. This time we will be preparing and serving a pulled pork dinner, with the desert provided by the Lake Country Girl Scouts. OF COURSE we'll fix enough for the volunteers!</span><br style="font-size: 12px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br style="font-size: 12px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="font-size: 12px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">If you'd like to help, please respond to me directly via email.
