Well, even I have to admit I underestimated this dinner social. I saw it on the Activity Calendar, as I was updating it for April and was a bit confused as to what this even was. Needless to say, I was suprised. We started, as usual, by setting up all the decorations, then night before- beautiful springtime flower arrangments, setting up the buffet table and of course hours of ironing table clothes, napkins and place mats. Seemed a little over done for soup and salad. Little did I know, there was such an impressive menu. Beef- vegitable soup, hearty tomato soup, minestroni and a great chili, served with a salad, rolls and a good spread of hard salami, an assortment of cheeses and crackers. It was delicious. The residents were amazed and very curious as to who prepared it. Vivian, our dietary manager, definately did a GREAT JOB!! Again, staff donned our aprons and got the food out quick and left no one undecided wether they were still hungry. Our administrator has decided to raise the bar and feature at least 2 of these dinner socials a month. This is opposed to the at least one a month, previously mentioned in the blog. Our next event, is going to be Pizza night on the 23rd.
