Yesterday was a very busy day. The Mondays in November the SUN Center has the Bread an Soup Dinner. There is so much to do to prepare each week we have to set up all the tables and chairs, get the posters made and out, get different volunteers to set it, set it up, serve, clean up and put all the tables and chairs up. It doesn't sound like much but it takes a lot of time and many helpers.

Yesterday we also had to put the Angel Tree up, get all the angels cut, punch holes, tied on a ribbon to get them ready to hang on the tree. Get the child Christmas wish written on. It was up to the last min for everything. Thank goodness we I got all the angels wishes done on Sat. at home. We have 25 children and each child has 5 angles on the tree. Most of my volunteers were busy with their classes, test and illness. The project leader Lynn was suppose to come and bring volunteers at 1:00 he never showed. I found out later he pulled a muscle in his neck and couldn't get up off the floor until one of his friends came and found him 5 hours later.

Everything turned out very well. We had 380 people come to the soup dinner we had so many people that we ran out of soup and bread and had to use some buns that a lady had in her car from a church dinner. We had a piano fight. I had asked two different girls to play the piano, they both showed up on the same night. The one was already playing when the other one showed up. She is from Korea and was very upset. She throw her books down and ask the girl who was playing what she was doing, she responded that she was playing the piano. That her name was on the sign for the evening. She came me and I was able to get the one playing to come next week. We had one almost fight with an old lady and one of our more bossy servers. The lady wouldn't get in the line after being told not to kindly a few times she did get in the line but when she got to the server she wouldn't take the soup saying she wonted the man to serve her, the one who was there before, which was Brad King. The service put the soup on the table and tried to go on to the next person but the lady said very loudly, " I will not take that soup", the lady ask her why and she said "It has corn in it", all the soup had corn in them, she really made a stink and finally it came out that she had and alergy to corn.
