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!)

Dave brings his contribution

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
