well we served 350 Saoilors at thanksgiving The Christmas dinner was amaller but in alot of ways more fufilling
My girlfriend arranged to get 50 new recruits off of the Great Lakes base for Christmas dinner.
They have not been off base or allowed to call home in 8 weeks and are graduating in 4 days.
We had some pretty strict rules and had chaperones with them at all times no drinks or smoking was allowed
The local theater arranged for them to take in a movie and a friend of mine opened their resteraunt for dinner for them.
We set up all of the voulenteer help and I cooked in the kitchen. We even had santa there
Dinner weas great beef ham veggies and mashed and augrautin potatoes
