Kudos: South Lake Tahoe Moose Lodge hosts Bread & Broth Dinner

Bread & Broth would like to thank the South Lake Tahoe Moose Lodge #1632 for their Adopt A Day sponsorship of the Monday, October 12th evening dinner. Thanks to the Moose Lodge’s generous donation, the 91 folks who came for dinner were served baked salmon with orange sauce, spaghetti with red sauce, a mixed green salad, a lovely strawberry/cantaloupe salad and a wide assortment of desserts. Although heaping servings were doled out during the first serving at 4:00 p.m., 27 diners returned for the 5:00 p.m. “second” serving of this tasty and nutritious dinner.

Working the serving line is always a favorite part of volunteering at the B&B dinners and this was the case for Moose Lodge sponsor crew members Rick Ainsworth and Scott Blumenthal. “Many thanks for the opportunity to serve my fellow men, women and children in our community,” said Scott. “This was great!” Besides serving, Rick and Scott helped pack the “giveaway” food bags distributed at the dinner. These bags are filled with fruit, vegetables, dairy products, canned goods and breads/pastries. These items are made available through B&B donors and local businesses and stores.

For both Rick and Scott, this was their first time volunteering at a B&B dinner. They were great to work with and they stayed to the very end of the event to help with the dinner’s cleanup. “Thank you for giving me this experience,” was Rick’s comment. “This was quite enjoyable working with a wonderful team.” What makes B&B volunteer team members so great is the rewarding experience they have of sharing their joy of serving others with the folks and sponsors who make the weekly dinners possible.
