Fremont Community Church Thanksgiving Dinner

Yesterday, SAM & I went to volunteer helping FCC with their annual dinner for the community. SAM was in the kitchen and I was out, working alone, setting up 22 tables & eight chairs per table. After a couple of hours some other people came and helped but I was more than 2/3 done with the set up. I was glad for the solitude, low noise and repetitive actions that I could set to a rhythm and carry on. I was not working fast but, like the turtle, I was making slow but steady progress. Meanwhile, SAM, in the kitchen with the myriad of crew was making fantastic progress for the dinner that was set for 300 people. Mind you, we were worker bees and not the leadership but we each chipped in where we could best.

By about 6 PM we had served 150± people and then the work crew went into eat. I sat with a guy, Tom, from Orland and we had a great chat about working at International Harvestor, Tokheim, Zollenger and Magnavox. We came home with a few helpings of turkey, corn, beans and mash potatoes. All the guests went home with all they wanted too. We all had a great time listening to the quartet of men. The base was especially appreciated as it reminded me of my Grandpa V.O. Lyons a Christian mentor and Gideon.
