The weather outside was frightful, but the food was delightful.

I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday breakfast at Etz Hayim this past Sunday.  It was lovingly put together by many volunteers.  We had vegetable quiche, cheese quiche, pancakes with three different kinds of syrup (maple, blueberry and strawberry), kugels, muffins, hot chocolate with marshmallows, and even peppermint sticks.  What a treat!

Just enjoying our time together.

Chocolate and candy canes.

And healthy food, too!

Please join us for a YUMMY breakfast on 12/16.

Thank you for spending the afternoon with us.

Thank you for spending Thanksgiving Day with the Community Meals Network at the Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration.  Special thanks to the Salvation Army for organizing all the nonprofits that are involved in this wonderful community activity.  The meal, music, and company were wonderful.  (PS, remember that December's free meal at Etz Hayim Synagogue is BREAKFAST on December 16.  See you then.)

Happy customers.

Let’s get the word out.

It made me happy to see this article in The Derry News yesterday.

Enjoying a meal with dear friends.

I stopped by Elijah's Table tonight and got to see a few people I had not seen in a while.  Everyone looks great, as did the food:  lasagna, an awesome spinach salad, fresh steamed broccoli and carrots, lots of cake.  The pictures below display one of the things I love about ET:  the warmth of the volunteers and our clients, and the friendship we all feel for each other.  Join us next time.

Friends forever.

Summertime, and the Living is Easy

Bonnie made a picnic tonight for the Elijah's Table customers:  tuna, egg, and pasta salad, pickles and olives, and yummy potatoe chips.  And, of course, there is always dessert at ET.  Join us next time.
