I am in day-after mode! Lacy Beth took the pictures and did a great job of showing how many people were involved in the Empty Bowls event yesterday. I enjoyed going through these pictures and I hope you will too. Taking orders, runners to fill those orders, soup scoopers, bread wrappers, dishwashers! Thanks to Rotary whose volunteers went to 14 restaurants to pick up soup and TRAIL whose members served as runners. Thanks to restaurants, the generous sponsors, all the volunteers, and members of the committee who put it all together.

We’re excited to see you today!
