Britt stopped by a few days before the luncheon to pick up the “must have” supplies to pass on to Deb for the food prep. Early Sunday morning Barb and Don swung by to pick up the quilts, the notes, pantry bags, and the rest of the supplies.
I stayed home and from all reports I have heard, the luncheon was great! Deb and Barb both checked in afterwards and said it was very busy. The Vitamix even over-heated from all the smoothies Deb was making. It worked fine again after it cooled down.
Menu:
Lasagna
Italian Bread
Meatball Subs and Sandwiches
with Garden Salad and fresh Maryland tomatoes
Appetizers and Fruit
(Those toothpick thingies are making me HUNGRY!)
Cake and cookies, and Entenmann’s from Dave. Thank you, Dave!
Pantry bags with goodies inside, quilts from Bayside Quilter, Dunkin Donut and phone cards.
Support Notes from Colorado, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio, North Carolina, Michigan, Florida, Indiana, Nebraska, Virginia, and Alabama.
This month’s note packets included
Silver Star Banner applications from
Silver Star Families of America.
“Silver Star shining for sacrifice, honoring wounded, ill and dying members of our Armed Forces, and bringing remembrance to those so deserving of our thanks.
We will never forget . . . WELCOME HOME!”
Thank you, Margie, for sending the printed applications on to us for distribution.
