There were several
opportunities for fellowship in 2011 in which the committee
participated by providing the venue and refreshments. These events
included Cool Treats in July; Hot Dogs & Back-Pack Blessings in
August; the 55th Anniversary Celebration with Brats on the Grill in
September; and Fall Sweets and Pumpkin Treats in November.
Interspersed were a post-funeral service reception, a ladies
luncheon, and Pizza with the Pastor which, unfortunately although
announced often and well in advance, drew but one non-member couple.
As I recall, the four of us enjoyed great rapport and a memorable time.
The
re-inauguration of the Men’s Breakfast had an inauspicious start
with only three of us, including Pastor. We subsequently changed
venues from Burger King on Macon Road to the one on Manchester
Expressway across from the mall. At IHOP on Veteran’s Parkway,
we had five. The Cracker Barrel saw our most successful Saturday
drawing including friends of members.
Without the
assistance of the many members of St. Matthew who volunteered with
advice, suggestions, food, and clean-up could we have had such a
successful succession of social occasions.
Respectfully submitted,
Duke Barron
