St. Mark's Men's Group
12th Annual Buffet Supper was the best ever!
The Men's Group buffet supper continues to be a popular event in its twelfth year. At least 157 diners attended, and most enjoyed a splendid variety of salads, entrees and desserts prepared by the members, their partners, and many friends. Although the range of choice diminished sharply for the last few diners, we did not have to turn anyone away, but we were very close to that point. The weather was kind to us, and the tea and a chance to visit were a great antidote to cabin fever.

| It's 4:31! |
 |
| The opening rush is past. Time to look up. |
 |
| Lots of choices! |
 |
| The marinaded carrots didn't last long. |
 |
| nor the broccoli salad. |
 |
| Warning: they're hot! |
 |
| The lasagna went quickly too. |
 |
| Maybe that spoon should have been smaller. |
 |
| It's a good thing there were other salads to follow. |
 |
| Small plate but big dessert. |
 |
| a dash of lemon |
 |
| They were supposed to save that one for last (the men's group) |
 |
| We're ready for another! |
 |
| 200 cups of tea--gone? |
 |
| Empty dishes came by ones and twos, then tens and twenties, then more! |
 |
| Boil some more water-the tea is getting low! |
 |
| Sure you may have a cup of hot water. Whoops! I guess we should plug in the kettle! |
 |
| The dishwasher and the dishwashers were hard pressed to keep up. |
 |
| A turnabout is fair play. |
 |
| Keeping those desserts coming. |
 |
| That tune reminds me of John Allen. |
 |
| The big picture - it was a great time for socializing over a cup of tea. No need to rush off. |
 |
| Empty chairs were at at premium. |
 |
| Time to visit after supper. |
 |
| You're not going to catch me with my mouth full! |
 |
| A time to visit with old friends. |
 |
| Don't look now, but there's a wolf looking over your shoulder. |
 |
| There is a lull at the serving table, but now it is time to visit. |
 |
| A sure cure for the winter blahs, and a break from cooking. |
 |
| And if we talk Food Bank business, that is o.k. |
 |
| Taking a break from the books. |
 |
| Tea, and satisfaction. |
 |
| Eat and talk, not eat and run. |
 |
| Not many pass up a cup of tea. |
 |
| Mmmm good! |
 |
| The warm glow from the heat lamps soften the cool white of the fluorescents. |
 |
| Worth travelling from Newtown for. |
