Mesh Cafe June 20, 2017

mesh 1From Captain Fern Heinig:

Shomrei Cafe hosted a full house last night, 24 Guests. MESH personnel were a little surprised since it has been light in other locations so far this month.

School is out so I (Captain Fern) was not expecting our usual teen volunteers so invited non Shomrei friends to come and help. They brought their daughters, niece, and friend. We welcomed first time MESH young helpers: Sienna, Rhylie, Maggie, and Meg, and adults Holly and Jeff, Tracie and Brian.

mesh 2The kids are disappointed they can not help again until September, but want to be there for IHN week.

Constant Susan Rosenblatt rounded out our volunteer staff.

Of course our professional staff, Adrienne and Joe, coordinated the evening.

For the warm night, we cooked a summer meal. Egg Salad as a first course followed by a beautiful Tossed Salad. The main was Baked Salmon with home made Tzatzki, Cous Cous, and Honey Carrots. We ended the evening with fresh fruit salad and cookies.

mesh 3NOTE: There are two bags of fresh Green Beans (4 lbs) in the refrigerator that can be the green vegetable for next week.

Last MESH week of the year, next week.

Regards,
Fern
