Praise God! The New Leaf Cafe' ended up being a tremendous success. Although the attendance was not as high as some of the other Cafes we've had in the past, the spirit was tremendous. The baked good were yummy and the fellowship was terrific. Everyone seemed pleased with the evening and really seemed to enjoy Aspire.
Also, I want to thank everyone who worked to make things possible. Several board members were very helpful to even get the thing off the ground in the first place. Months of planning and working on details. Also, Aspire for their willingness to be our featured group this time. Last time, they sang only a couple of songs and several people had said they had come especially to hear them. This time, I had specifically asked them to be the feature group, not knowing at the time of course that I would end up being the "fill-in" for rest of the evening. I pulled several songs out of the hopper that I enjoy singing and I think others enjoyed the time as well. A special thank you to Brian, the sound man. He faithfully does this time after time and he is appreciated so much for what he does. A special thanks for Betty and Kathleen who baked goodies for the evening. Apple pies, no-bakes, chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter cookies, Boston cream pie, along with other goodies, made up the menu for the baked goods.
Lastly, a very big thank you for all of you who were so generous when the basket was passed. New Leaf Cafe' is one of our main fundraisers during the year. A total of $238 was donated on Saturday evening. Praise God, and thank you all for your generosity
