[Lekooks] Bread of Life

[Karl Timm]

>From Gerry:

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.

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
