Just Friends Free Easter Dinner
Happy Easter
The day began at 10 am with a group of 40 friends sharing Easter day in the kitchen at the Salvation Army. Invitations were given to 230 people throughout the community of Owen Sound to join us to a free turkey dinner. 30 turkeys were dressed with stuffing, 100lbs of potatoes mashed, peas done in a ginger spice, cranberries layed on top of a leaf of lettuce and apple pie with ice cream. Doors opened at 3pm with entertainment being preformed by Scott Almond who had this close group clapping and singing to the sounds of Bob Seager and Johnny Cash. At prayers we all Thanked God for allowing us to do this for these guests in need and also for the Love we have as Friends in each other. The presentation of the plate when it was served to our guests by Just Friends was mouth watering. The smile on the children, men and women was enough to see that they were all Happy to be here. When dinner was over and the guests had left , the kitchen was cleaned and the hall was swept. I know as we all drove home are thoughts were that we had all spent a very fulfilling day. I hope that next year we can spend this Special day again together.
