No need to be a gourmet cook! We help prep sandwiches, cut dessert bars and organize a few things between 10 and noon. Then we serve food as people come through the line. When we’re done, we get lunch and then wipe down tables and chairs. This is a lot of fun, so please join in if you can. No children allowed in kitchen. No flip-flops or open toed shoes allowed. And, they need to know in advance how many people are signed up, so they’ve asked that no last-minute additional people participate. |
