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.

MESH2 2015 jan 12Teens 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.

Tonight’s much appreciated menu:

Egg Salad

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

Regards,
