Supper Club - St. Patrick's Celebration
March 15, 2008

Jack Wilson and Sam Mallery

Our third annual Supper Club's St. Patrick's Celebration was another success, with about 100 attendees enjoying a wonderful St. Pat's dinner featuring the typical corned beef, cabbage, carrots, and potatoes.  Green River was the drink of choice.  The food was plentiful, and there was even enough left so we could offer it for sale to help defray expenses.

The success of the dinner was the result of the hard work of a committee of 22 people . . . every activity from planning and publicity to cleanup and all in between.

Jack Wilson told a few Irish jokes, and then Debby and Denny Lawson led the group in singing some great Irish songs.  Paul Burgess accompanied them.

After dessert the group retired to the Sanctuary where Mike Sammer thrilled everyone with his wonderful tenor rendition of Irish and Broadway songs.  Once again, Paul Burgess accompanied on the piano.

Everyone enjoyed a brief period of fellowship before beginning to eat.  
Stewart Hall was very festive decorated in green for St. Patrick's Day.
