We had managed to accumulate a small amount of money from our Monday Morning meetings, Sunday Ice Crean Socials, and a small amount from the Valentines Day Dinner. Not wanting any let over money we decided to hold a Free Breakfast. The menu was to be pancakes, sausage, scrambled eggs, with milk added, fruit cup, coffee, tea, and Sunny delight orange drink.
Our friend John, who organized many of the breakfast gatherings, gave us a suggested menu and its cost per person. He also suggested how to cook large quantities of food for our gathering.
Putting up a signup sheet we ended up with sixty people, including many who never attended a potluck or other social events. At the next Monday Morning meeting we asked for volunteers and were happy to have so many volunteers.
Dan cooked the eggs, Barb, the pancakes and hall set up
, and Marsha the fruit cups and orange juice.
I ended up flipping pancakes and we had several assistant chefs who were busy,
Maurine prepared the batter,
Doug the egg and milk mixture, and Sherry, Shelly, Betty, Rhonda, Diana and others sliced up the fruit and poured the orange juice,
(my apologies to those I missed naming).
Breakfast was served from 9-10 am and the Recreation Hall was crowded! We barely kept up with the pancakes but survived the onslaught and even ended up with a few extra pancakes. We ended up serving fifty-six people at a total cost of about one hundred and forty dollars, which came out to two dollars and fifty cents per person.
Thanks for all who volunteered and everyone involved! Today, some have already left, and most are leaving very soon. As rver’s we don’t say goodbye, but we simply say see you down the road!
Clear skies and safe travels
