From Captain Fern Heinig:

On a cold January night, with actual snow flakes, the Shomrei MESH cafe opened their doors and welcomed 29 guests, which included 6 young guests (ages 2-9) and their parents.

Teens Lewis and his friend Max and adult Susan Anderson joined Captain/Cook Fern in the preparation of a hearty meal for a cold night. Teen Amalia and MESH staffer, Adrienne, took charge of setting the table and preparing the drinks for our guests.

Matt volunteered for the first time helping to serve and clean up. Rachel, a veteran, joined her brother and rounded our evening staff.

Tonight’s much appreciated menu:

Egg Salad
Potato Barley Soup
Sweet and Hot Meatballs
Rice
Roasted Carrots
Tangerines and Cookies

Yasher Koach to all our helpers. Please continue to volunteer. Your enthusiastic help is much needed.

Regards,
Fern
