World Hunger Fish/Turkey Report: You knock my socks off! You people are fantastic! It was a joy to watch all of you pitch in and do a fantastic job. It takes well over 80 people to carry this project off and each one of you from the potato salad makers, cake bakers, fish fryers, turkey roasting and carving, servers, bussing tables, kitchen workers, greeters, seating guests, preparing and serving the drinks, dish washers and dryers, clean up committee and bread baker did an outstanding job. My “humble” thanks to each of you, especially Glenalee, Kay and Ruth Ann. This was the first year I had a grandson graduate which caused me to leave sooner, but I left everything in capable hands. THANK YOU! We served 389 people, gross income was $2,175.00. The profit is approximately $1,575.00. The profit will become part of the benevolence report for 2009. “For he satisfies him who is thirsty, and the hungry he fills with good things” Psalms 107:9 In His Service, Arlene
