Men's Dinner - 1/8/09 was DELICIOUS!

AND SO MUCH FUN!

The menu consisted of shrimp, cheese ravioli with choice of sauce, corn casserole (thanks, Lauren!), cheesy potatoes, rolls and even a peach cobbler whipped up at the last minute (thanks, Herman!). The guys ate until they were full and everyone had a good time.

Also - I've decided to start giving updates about some of the guys. A lot of them are making really great changes in their lives and it's important to celebrate these with them:
  • Alan is doing great in his program and has some potential investors checking out some websites that he's helped to build.
  • The gray-haired guy with the crutches (does anyone know his name?) just got his own place! He signed the lease yesterday! WooT!
  • Cedric knows magic! Did anyone else know this? He wowed us with all kinds tricks. I still don't know how he did the card trick.
  • Vince is doing great in his program too! He either just graduated - or is graduating soon.
  • Ed is going to join us at 5 Loaves this coming Sunday.
If you heard some good news from one of the guys that you want to share - please leave a note in the comments section. :)

Women's Dinner is Switching Nights

An email has already been sent about this, so it's probably old news for most - but just in case someone may have missed it...

Our monthly serving opportunity for the women's facility has been changed from the third Monday of every month to the third Friday of every month.

Although the next dinner at the Women's Facility (aka Joshua Center) is now Friday, January 16th - we already have all the volunteers we need for that dinner. Our next opportunity is Friday, February 20th. Be sure to let me know if you're interested in joining us. :)
