Thank you to everyone who made the Christmas Day dinner possible!  This is a wonderful event that only happens because people give of their time -- before, during, and after the meal itself.

This was our 18th dinner -- and we served 250 meals in the dining room plus 98 takeout meals.  Takeouts were double what they have been in the past!
