[Lekooks] Bread of Life October 25

[Gerald Flakas]

Hi everyone,

Our turn for serving the Bread of Life dinner at St. Charles in Hartland will be on Thursday, October 25. We'll need about 6-8 volunteers to help serve it. The time range is approximately 4:00-7:00PM.

We've been doing this for a number of years, but for those unfamiliar with the program, here's a little background:
The meals are served from 5:30pm - 6:30pm on the 4th Thursday, January through October, and on the 3rd Thursday, November and December, with the help of multiple area congregations working together. Two congregations team up to plan the menu, purchase and prepare the food in St. Charles' kitchen and serve it. The 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.

Last year we served pulled pork Bar-B-Q with chips and coleslaw, and the Lake Country Girl Scouts brought and served brownies for desert. The meal was a big hit, and we will probably serve the same thing again.

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, while the adults prepare and serve the food, and clean up afterwards.

We have a few people signed up so far, but could use a few more. If you'd like to help, please respond to me directly via email. I'll put you on the list and notify everyone (via lekooks) when we've reached our needed number of volunteers.

Heartfelt thanks,

Gerry & Esther Flakas
