The 54th Annual Kosher-Style Take-Out Lunch and Bake Sale was on Thursday, Feb. 4th, 2010 from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM.  A box lunch including A GIANT Pastrami or Corned Beef Sandwich, salad, pickles, and home-baked Cake was only $10.00. Temple Beth El Sisterhood plays a vital role in the functioning of the Congregation. The Annual Kosher-Style Luncheon serves more than 5,000 lunches to members of the community and raises funds to support education of our children.  So much goes into to making this day happen.  I was able to volunteer this year and snap some photos of the process.  Tons of people come out all week long to set up, wrap pickles, cut cake, pack coleslaw, haul things around, and get prepared for this day!  Arrival time the day of is 5 a.m. and the madness begins…Sandwiches are made, boxes are opened, and lunches are served!!!  Everyone plays a special role in the process and most people are assigned a certain job or task and others help where needed.  I somehow lucked out and became in charge of the lunch box area.  My Grandma was holding down the bake sale!  It was a lot of fun and a great experience.  Enjoy the show…
