St. Mark's Men's Group Buffet Supper, February 1st

There was very little food left over after yet another successful Buffet Supper organized by St. Mark's Men's Group. Everything was delicious and as usual the men worked seamlessly and except for the odd electrical problem the event went smoothly and efficiently. For their efforts and with assistance from their friends, they brought in a total of $1,220.oo to help with our church finances. Thanks to all who supplied food, helped in the kitchen, served, cleaned up and to Hayward, our perennial cashier.
