Want to go to dinner? Quick question: Do you like turkey? Pie? Just coming together with folks to share a meal and joy? Or do you like the idea of that being available to one and all - those with nowhere else to go; those who just don't feel like preparing their own, and those who simply enjoy attending the Community Thanksgiving Dinner? Well, it's coming up in less than a month, with the Community Dinner's board and volunteers gearing up to feed an estimated 2,500 or more, who will walk through the doors of Friendship Hall on Thanksgiving Day, drive through the pick-up line, or have meals delivered. You guessed it — this is a pitch. The folks who put on the dinner each year need help. Money and volunteers are always welcome, and this year, especially, they need someone willing to train for one of the most critical jobs. Their kitchen manager is retiring. A person or couple who would like to learn the ropes is needed, ASAP. You would not be in charge of the entire meal this year; you would instead be shadowing the kitchen manager to learn. The kitchen manager has full support from the board, as well. So, if you have a background in restaurants, cooking, organization, ordering supplies — or a willing heart — please contact Holly Padilla at 970-729-1287 or holly.pe@hotmail.com.
