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.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>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. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>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.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>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?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks. Clearly this won’t be an event I would want to put on the blog to inspire 75 days of service. LOL.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Cindy Lou Ray<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
