The Vet's Dinner on March 26 seemed a success. As usual, Julie Schaffer and Ken Mace coordinated the St. Francis House support, while the Assembly prepared this dinner. They arranged the schedule, set up the dining area, activated the kitchen, provided ice and water, and other consumable or expendable material. They are truly a pleasure to work with.
Mike Kerwin coordinated with the American Legion, VFW, the 4th Degree Knights, et. al. Mike and Ruth pulled the affair together; they arranged transportation, elicited volunteers to provide baked beans and desserts, helped set up and serve the dinner, as well as many other actions to ensure a well delivered event.
The menu included 120 grilled foot-long hot dogs from Ed Miller's Coats For Kids project. They were a huge success. Of course, the Assembly provided all-the-fixin's--buns, chili, saurkraut, cheese, onions, relish, ketchup, mustard, horse-radish, hot sauce, potato chips, and pickle spears. "Chili Dogs" seemed the menu-of-choice, followed by the "Coney Island" everything-on-it fare! Six brother knights provided the baked beans, while another provided potato salad for 60. There were plenty of great desserts. The punch and bottled water from St. Francis House were augmented with 72 soda pops--Sprite, Dr Pepper, and Coke--which quickly disappeared!
Ray and Gynnie Ambrozich again showed up early, stayed late, and did their typical and outstanding culinary magic from cooking, warming, organizing, serving, etc., right through cleanup. Their enthusiasm, charitable attitudes, expertise, acumen, and energy motivate everyone.
There were 54 vets who dined. The food disappeared with only a single ladle of chili, a couple spoonfuls of potato salad, and 17 buns left. The few desserts and potato chips leftover probably disappeared before the volunteers hit Hwy 30 coming home. Over a dozen vets made a point to approach Tom Donnelly and several others to extend their thanks, appreciation, and compliments for the dinner.
Charity, Unity, Fraternity, and Patriotism were all at work. Being a small part of this effort is a pleasure. Incidently, this event was served at "no cost" to the Assembly. The funds collected in excess of the cost for the February meeting meal totally paid for this dinner.
