Our Mission fundraiser dinner was as huge a success as it was ambitious. With the expertise from our cuisine chef Debbie Gursky, we served a 5 course meal where each course was a food native to the country we are supporting.
Each course had a 5 minute introduction and prayer video for each country that introduced the unique dish, and then guests got to experience the specific food from each country while they were entertained with music native to each location.
All of our youth who are going on the mission trips got trained in food-service etiquette and they waited on each of the tables by serving and clearing items with courtesy and hospitality. The guests were encouraged to “tip” their waiters, and all together our youth were tipped almost $750!
Thanks to all those who spent weeks preparing, who arrived early to set up and stayed late for clean up. Special thanks to Dawn and Terry McDonald for offering childcare at the church, and to all those who served in the kitchen, even if they’re not getting on the airplane with the rest of the team.
