From Captain Lynne Kurzweil:

Shomrei’s MESH Cafe welcomed 15 hungry and appreciative guests this past Tuesday night. Melissa Elbaum was Chef du Jour and when the menu was announced there was hearty applause. Along with Sous Chef Bridget Placek, Melissa prepared a delicious Red Lentil and Barley Soup, Teriyaki Salmon with Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Brown Rice with fresh herbs. Fresh Fruit Salad and Chocolate Crinkle Cookies completed the meal.

Lanny Kurzweil was all around kitchen helper and a great group of teens filled in plating, serving and cleaning up. Our Shomrei teens, Siona, Matt and Davida were joined by MHS students Sam, Khari, and Teddy in addition to MSU students Samira and Leonard. Veronica, our MSU intern (and former student/returning volunteer) along with MESH staffers Adrienne and Joe, made sure that the night ran smoothly.

Regards,
Lynne
