If that seems light, it's because it was, and we've got plenty of supplies for next week.

Needed more volunteers Sunday, any time you can give is good

RIP Cathy Andres's sister.  Cathy and Gene will be flying back to Kentucky this weekend for the funeral.

We're down to 9 out of our normal 15 volunteers.

We especially need serving line folks- if you don't have full time, or have a parent/child combo who would like to volunteer, this could be a good position for you.  Go to Mass at your normal time, leave as soon as you get communion to warn us that people are coming, then just stand in place for less than 45 minutes as people come by you to get their food.  Times especially needed will be 9:30-10:15 and 11:45-12:15.

Also, if you can come early, Ted will have the kitchen open by 7am, and we need more prep volunteers and cooking volunteers.

Especially if you are good with scrambled eggs, there is a need, as our egg man, Mike O'Phelan, is also out of town.

Contact Ted: seebert42@gmail.com or 503-318-1508 if you can help.
