Hi Dave,
DD> So long as it suits the needs of the congregation. This ain't a "one
DD> size fits all" world.
RH> True, and this one caters very much to the college/seminary/young
RH> married folks. We're going to try to find one (near home) that doesn't
RH> ignore the older generations.
DD> Ask one of the inmates of a senior citizen's home who is of your
DD> religious bent.
We've got Baptist churchs all over the area, just have to do some asking
about the specific worship style, location (don't want to go too far
from WF) and other factors.
DD> Post 32 uses the profits from the bar and the food service for their
DD> "projects" a part goes to fund the ceremonial burial detail for Camp
DD> Butler National Ce3metary. Another partis usede to sponsor Honor
DD> Flights. And some goes into scholarships, etc.
RH> We have several on going fund raisers, biggest one is a monthly pancake
RH> breakfast. Profits are used in various ways that benefit both veterans
RH> and the community. Menu is choice of blueberry or plain pancakes,
RH> breakfast sausage, orange juice and coffee. If he goes, Steve usually
RH> brings a small bottle of maple syrup for his pancakes. (G)
DD> Post 32 is located across from the main gate of the state fairgroound.
DD> And the have a large (several acres) lot to the west of the post. They
DD> park cars there during fiar time and clean up monetarily. My Vintage
DD> Iron Riders (old folks, old motorcycles) ran the parking for them mid-
DD> week (Wednesday) for a rake-off per each carp arked. We cleared over
DD> U$700 for the day. Which tells me the Legion is "cleaning up".
Our Legion and VFW posts park for various events (town movie night, 6
Sundays in Spring concert series, etc). VFW also runs a chuck wagon at a
number of large community events--Meet in the Street, Friday Night on
White (Street, concert series in the summer) and so on. Both groups do
quite well.
DD> 8<----- AGAIN ----->8
DD> Have you ever walked back the USDA establishment number on Wgiies
DD> stuff? I did that for Hy-Vee's house branded product and found that
DD> it's the same number as is on Dannon/Oikos.
RH> I've not, but I've had enoough Oikos to know that they're 2 different
RH> yogurts.
DD> I note that Chobani is on sale at Hy-Vee 10 5.3 oz Fruit-On-The-Bottom
DD> for U$10. Next week's snacking is covered .... Bv)=
I just picked up a dozen Wegman's yogurts (4 each of peach, strawberry
and raspberry) yesterday. That'll keep me a couple of weeks.
DD> I think I had to choke down too much corm meal mush when I was a
DD> child. So I came by my dislike honestly.
RH> Sounds like me and peanut butter. We were raised on a lot of oatmeal
RH> and cream of wheat breakfasts, only allowed about 1/2 tsp brown sugar
RH> and a splash of milk. When I got on my own, I started adding cinnamon
RH> and raisins, plus more brown sugar, to my oatmeal--made it SO (!!!)
RH> much better! My parents also insisted that we have a piece of bread
RH> after having the cereal. It wasn't a lot of cereal so the bread was
RH> supposed to finish filling you up. The cereal filled me enough and I
RH> didn't really want white bread but I had to choke it down. But, I
RH> survived childhood and can now have whatever I want for my breakfast
RH> (G); the other day I saw some left over dressing (stuffing) in the
RH> fridge and grabbed that to go with my yogurt.
RH> Now that's something I'd reach for in a NY Minute! (G)
DD> Humphrey's (our last family-owned/run market) has locally-made yogurt
DD> encased pretzels. The problem is that every time I buy a bag they seem
DD> to evaporate when I open the bag. They are very prone to being excess
DD> consumed. Bv)=
Now that sounds like something I'd grab in a heartbeat if we lived out
in that area. One plus about all the travel we've done is that we have
to get groceries in new to us stores. Often we'll come across something
that we've never seen before and grab a bag/bottle/jar/etc to try. It
usually comes home with us so we can try it various ways--got some beef
and some chicken fajita seasoning (house brand) from HEB when we were in
TX a couple of years ago that we've enjoyed.
DD> They have also begun stocking Praline Pecans. Oh! My waistline.
Those I wouldn't eat as many of, some, but not as many as the pretzels.
