St. Paul Lutheran Church - Salad Luncheon 2016

When we lived in Nevada

we were members of St. Paul Lutheran Church

I still have friends there

And one of the highlights of St. Paul's

is their annual Salad Luncheon

What started out as the women trying to earn a bit of money

for a church need

has continued for almost 40 years

And now is a whole church project

Always held in the fellowship hall

A line-up of salad,

A small sweet

And a drink

The kinds of salads are always the same

2 meat

2 vegetable 

2 fruit

But the salads change from year to year

Although some years old favorites are brought back

This year, there was an old and a new for each kind of salad

The 2016 Salads:

This one was vote the favorite at our table

And just a bit of a sweet to end the meal

It's a community event

Not a Lutheran event

And they sell only so many tickets

And each year they sell out way before the date of the luncheon

The place is always packed

And often we find a table with some old Nevada friends to visit with

Three dear friends

Sarah on the left was my Sarah's Sunday School Teacher several years at St. Paul's

Dave and Patsy are also long time friends

And when you have a food event

There is always the "kitchen help"

Who will stop and pose for a picture.

St. Paul's did it again

It was a great salad luncheon

And it's a highlight of Spring for me
