[Community-service] An Event and suggestions

[Cindy Ray]

I have avoided doing this event before because I don't feel comfortable
working with food with those plastic bags with fingers in them on my hands.
However, I decided that it was important for me to give it a shot. First, my
church does the activity every month now and my Rotary Club does it every
two months. So I decided to join with my Rotary in doing the event. It is
called CFUM Supper Club (Children and Family Urban Movement) and serves
those who are in need. Their income isn't quite enough, they don't have
jobs, etc. So I went.

First I buttered bread. It was difficult with the little bags on my fingers.
(I suppose I should call them gloves.) I didn't do badly with it, but they
weren't having anything I'd feel comfortable serving. The menu was spaghetti
and meat sauce, salad and dressing, (you have to apply the dressing for
them), Italian bread and butter, which I could actually serve, drinks, and a
variety of desserts. They invited me to greet folks and to say the evening
prayer. 

I didn't mind doing this, so I did, but it didn't go well. It was so  noisy
that I couldn't always be certain people were close enough to greet, and
they were often visiting with one another. Also, many of them thought I was
in line or offered to help me with a tray. I did try to find another place
to stand that would imply I was not in the line.

Now, my main question is this: Has anyone ever used these gloves, and do you
know if it is, in general, OK to switch them for Laytex gloves? Do those
gloves work better?

Thanks. Clearly this won't be an event I would want to put on the blog to
inspire 75 days of service. LOL.
