Subject: FREE LUNCH!!!!!!

That’s right free lunch every Thursday at St. Bartholomew’s from noon to 1pm. This is a community lunch and all are welcome! I’ve been volunteering for some time now and I just love seeing people of all ages and all walks of life coming together and sharing and eating! Karen Ladd had a vision and it has grown!  It is really important in these times that our community comes together to take care of their own. And this community has certainly  stepped up to the plate (literally!!)Almost all our food is donated so you never know what’s cooking but it’s guaranteed to be good with Karen and Micky Hester at the wheel! We have countless gardeners and home cooks who have donated cabbages, beans, cakes, and casseroles. Harry Horton come and plays the piano. Larry Williams makes sure we have sharp knives and all the help we need in the kitchen. Thanks to all the community volunteers who chop,slice,dice,bake,boil,
