From Captain Lynne Kurzweil:

We welcomed a full house of 24 guests (plus two takeaway meals) to the MESH Cafe at Shomrei this past Tuesday evening. Chef Arden Epstein and Sous Chef Meredith Barrantine presented a tasty and nourishing meal that was heartily consumed by our grateful guests. Mixed nuts and raisins started the meal off followed by a kale and brussels sprout salad with poppyseed dressing and a dinner roll with butter. Roasted cod with lemon, buttered green beans and rice with Romano cheese was the delicious main course, followed by palmier pastry with fresh strawberries for dessert.

First time volunteer and brand new Shomrei member Rob Faulkner happily pitched in with prep, serving, and cleanup. Super Shomrei teens Amalia, Siona, Matt and Leila helped out with their usual enthusiasm. MHS teens Khari, Josie and Sam, as well as college students Leonard, Samira and our MSU intern, Veronica, all helped to make the evening run
smoothly. MESH staffers Adrienne and Joe were helpful and cheerful as usual.

Respectfully submitted,
Lynne
