Gratitude Part Two

What I am talking about today is like a gratitude part two.
Yesterday Merril and I knew was going to be a big day.  We had set up Friday afternoon for having a thank you lunch for a number of volunteers.  It’s funny, but just as an aside, helping out is just their nature.  We had set it so that volunteers would not need to do anything.  We figured they do heaps throughout the year, and we would try to make it so they did not need to do anything.
That did not work when it came to finishing up.  They were washing up and repositioning chairs for the next event and putting away tables.  Oh well, we tried.
We had ordered Subway for 40.  I was actually so impressed with what was provided.  It was delicious.  Not everyone who said they could make it did.  The reason I was least expecting was Covid.  One person who was keen to be there had tested positive for covid so could not make it.  Others were on holidays or celebrating birthdays.
It was probably just as well not everyone could be there as we did not end up with much left over.  We topped it off with ice cream and fruit salad.  Thankfully one of the volunteers helped with serving that.
Merril and I had run a market in the morning and the N3C food pantry was in operation.  We were pretty cactus.  I would not swap anything but must admit I was happy when we were heading home.
It really was a good time.  Except maybe the trivia questions.  I got them from the web and it said they were the easy ones.  If that was the case, I would not like to see the hard ones.  We had prizes of 1st, 2nd and 3rd.  The winner got six right.  Third was three.
One question everyone would have got.  I accidently read out the answer before asking the question.  I told them that, then read the question.  Everyone seemed to know the answer.
Anyway the point was a thank you.  I felt that was conveyed.  To me so often the volunteers are the unsung heroes.  Volunteers are often the hands and feet of great ideas.
