People who attended: Erica, Arianna, Sarah, Rosalinda, Rama, Hasan, Jill, Sonya, Jankarl (+friend), Anna, Gordon
I was very pleased when I walked into the church and saw that most of the people who were coming had already arrived. Sarah became our first Banting student representative. That made me proud. Sonya, walked in smiling with 2 other people were not from interact. But they stayed all night help us, and I was unbelievably grateful.
The team helped with everything from start to finish: everyone helped set up the tables, the tablecloths (which are surprising heavy), and even for the cutlery. We packed what between 50 and 60 bread bags (assorted breads and baked items that people could take home). While in the kitchen, we were cutting another 50 or 60 loaves of bread to be served that night.
When the crowd started coming, the process flowed like clockwork. Six of us were in the kitchen (Anna, Rama, Arianna, Erica, Sonya, myself) serving the food, and Sonya bravely volunteered to be our lone dishwasher. Hasan was in charge of sorting all the dishes as they came in and Sarah was helping to distribute the bread baskets. Rosie, Jill, and the others were helping with drinks and deserts.
We served hot soup, bread, desert and drinks to about 78 people in the span of half an hour.
