Luncheon to Honor All The Elders in Our Congregation
Thursday April 20, 2017 @ 12 noon, Sister Hằng
held a luncheon to honor all the elders in our congregation @ St Ann's
basement. The outcome was low in number & not remotely close to what we had
hoped for. At most four tables of 8 were utilized. Although low in number, all
the attendees still bonded & a good time was had by all.
After our stomachs were fully satisfied Sister Hằng
held a raffle where half dozen tickets were chosen @ random. The winners were
able to pick out a gift of which the last two remaining winners were awarded
gift cards supporting local grocery stores. No one went home empty handed. Each
& every attendee went home with a gift in hand which consisted of colorful
Easter eggs filled with candy/chocolates as well as a bracelet rosary all
enclosed in a beautiful gift package. First & foremost we would like to
thank Sister Hằng who put time aside, coordinated & made it all happen. It
was a success because she took all the care in the world. Secondly we would
like to thank all the people who with their loving hands prepared all the
delicious food as well as desserts. There was something for every pallet ... some
American staples & others Vietnamese staples including fried chicken, mac
& cheese, potato salad, egg rolls & stir fried noodles & many more.
Last, but definitely not least, we appreciate you Miss Ánh for all the great
photos you took throughout for us to commemorate the luncheon.
We hope to see you all next year. May God bless
you & keep our country safe in His tender loving care.
