UNITY LUTHERAN CHURCH + CHICAGO SEVENTH ANNUAL "SPAGHETTI-FEST" February 11, 2011
"A rousing success . . . . "
Attendance: approximately 70-72 people Proceeds Donated to Unity: $ 405.03 WEATHER: VERY mild ... NO snow. Many new neighbors attended this event.
A BIG thanks to all NINE volunteers who so graciously donated their time the day before to help decorate "Bistro Viehe-Naess" (took 27 "people" hours to transform the room to a Bistro !)
We were blessed to have quite a few kitchen helpers who worked together with perfect timing to pull off this dinner and get the food on the table while warm ! A talent indeed ! We even had visiting "friends" help serve and wash dishes ! And a special thanks to our wonderful kitchen "Elf" . . . almost a permanent fixture in our kitchen . . . Ruth Nishimura. The clean-up crew was so appreciated also. "Spaghetti-Fest" could not take place without all those volunteers who were so generous in their contributions of food/beverages and time.
Every year this event gets bigger and better ! We are all looking forward to the 8th Annual in 2013 ! And . . . An "OKTOBERFEST" for this Fall may be in the works as new people (who had such a good time) have volunteered to help plan and arrange ! Betty Rothfuss, Spaghetti-Fest Coordinator
