TURKEY DINNER SERVES AROUND 1100 PEOPLE!
THANK YOU to all who participated in the Turkey       Dinner-- the planners, the workers--from the beginning crews on Friday who came back on Saturday because the turkeys were late, and Saturday workers who came back twice, the many, wonderful volunteers on Sunday--the turkey carvers, the early crew, those who carted food from kitchen to kitchen, the servers, those who brought pies and money and all the items for Aunti's Attic, and the best cleanup crew ever!  We could not have done it without you--many thanks!  This year was a challenge working  between two kitchens and new set-up but thanks to all WE DID IT and survived!  All the workers went above and    beyond--may God bless you all!

Thanks to all for making this year's dinner a huge success!
