We cooked and served the standard holiday dinner for the 150 people at
the homelss shelter. About half of our choir came and sang carols to
our guests. Everyone was well-prepared except the webmaster, who forgot
to take pictures. Our guests were in high spirits; picture at left shows
two choir members and a guest. We served hot spiced cider, roast turkey,

mint, green salad, roll and butter, ice cream, milk or lemonade. Half a

gave each guest a bag of them.
