Walking carefully. Nothing for the crows this year!
Hayward sells Cathy a ticket
and Lloyd
Live music this year
What's that?
But there is so much more than rolls!
still a good selection when Marlene arrived
across the table terry prepares to eat with Marlene
Donnie tops up the tea, which is in great demand
Denis gets time for a bite when the 5:00 p.m. rush is over
what do I want for dessert?
not many seats here, but there are more further back
hands full!
I'll stick with what I know, for now
catching up on the news
it looks like whipped cream and tastes like whipped cream
two grandchildren to talk about
Neil welcomes Martin to the Strait Area
and when I finish this I get dessert!
Darren is pretty good at serving!
Dave samples the bottomless cup
June rounds out the news
say aaaah!
full load, back to the kitchen
the dirty dishes will eventually stop coming

It was a dark and stormy night!
On a snowy, blowy Friday 5th evening, St. Mark's Men's Group put on their Annual Buffet Supper. Even though the weather was inclement, many brave souls ventured out to enjoy a repast of many different varieties of delicious food. The evening garnered $1465 for the Men's Group's coffers. Thanks to all who contributed. (Many were not men!)
