[Ohio-talk] spaghetti dinner

[Payne, Richard L (GE Capital)]

Yesterday the Dayton chapter had    our annual spaghetti dinner.
We had lasagna for a second choice. Kathy and her son Ben cooked the lasagna  and it   was fine.
We were blessed with members from the Springfield chapter.   I  would like to thank Susan and her members for attending. There were a number of people who got take out and several that ate  dinners at the church. We encourage other chapters to have dinners like this  because it  is another  way to  display the many talents of our membership.
Gloria and her niece got 99 percent of the food donated  Gloria also done a big deal of the cooking.   Sheila kept things rolling and organized in the kitchen and she also made the salad. .   Janine Pickens  was a very hard worker at this event. She has begun to find her way to get more involved in the chapter and feel more invested.  Mire  made center pieces out of empty wine bottles.   I did not even know she was going to do that and her involvement was great. They had grapes hanging down and lights  in side.  Tim and Annie brought napkins and a smile.  Wanda made a chocolate  pudding  Gus kept the money going to the correct place.  Charles and Vince Boykin's delivered dinners again this year.
Mr. Heck our personal sponsor   opened the church and got us started off on a good foot . You will find that I highlighted these members because they took the  lead and was able to get others involved.
We had a member that donated 10 tickets to people that needed a meal.
I thank Eric for the kind comments about our efforts with this dinner. Before Eric states it JW. And I had no involvement in empting the bottles.
I think we razed 700.00 dollars in 4 hours. Thanks for reading. Richard
