Friday August 8th was the Back to School Bash at the All Souls Catholic School. Knights of Columbus Council 5357 were asked to provide the food for the event. Knights provided hamburgers, hotdogs, buns, plates, cups, napkins, condiments, chips and cookies for the 300 estimated participants. Knights met at the Hall and loaded two grills, food, propane, and tents onto trailer and delivered all of it to the All Souls Chapel Social Hall. School sta& and volunteers from CCW set up the Hall with serving stations. The Knights cooked the burgers and hotdogs under our tent in the Historic Chapel’s parking lot. Two grills were kept busy for over an hour. A couple of Knights shuttled the cooked meats to warming trays in the Hall. A few Knights along with the CCW and school sta&, worked the serving line in the Hall. Our District Deputy also came over to support our e&orts. We served 310 meals and ran out of burgers and hotdogs. Some that arrived later or wanted seconds could not be accommodated. Previous years we had leftovers. We will have to budget for additional meals next year. I’ve only seen one photo from the event, so apologies to anyone that didn’t make it in the photo. We then cleaned up, packed up and brought all our equipment back to the Knights Hall.
