Annual Sweetheart Banquet

Sunday evening, February 10th was our Sweetheart Banquet ~ we had more than 100 in attendance, including these you see below. The meal was catered by some Main Street chefs (who shall remain nameless) and served by our young people "restaurant style." The menu included: "Friendship" salad and breadsticks, and choice of entrees: "Sweetheart" Spaghetti w/ homemade meat sauce, "By the Light of the Moon" Cheesy Baked Ziti, or "That's Amore" Vegetable Lasagna. For dessert, we offered "Kiss Me" Double Chocolate Brownie Ala Mode, "Be Mine" Baked Apple Crisp, and "Moonstruck" Banana Pudding. Our special drink for the evening was "Cupid's Lemony Love Potion."
