Jeanne and Harold Qualters have graciously agreed to prepare the food. No fee will be charged for the meal but donations will be gratefully accepted to cover costs. Any surplus funds will be donated to our Food Pantry. Volunteers are needed to prepare and clean up the serving and dining tables and a beverage station and bring desserts.
