I guess it was just too big and easy to just kind of become anonymous in the crowd. But this town takes care of each other in ways I have never experienced. I was amazed all day &#8211; people just kept coming, ordering to go, sitting down, eating and enjoying one <span class=\"blsp-spelling-error\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_1\">anothers<\/span> company while supporting one our own families in need. <\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div>We held the benefit for Sheila <span class=\"blsp-spelling-error\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_2\">Faut<\/span> on April 13 and it was an absolute success! I had ordered tons of <span class=\"blsp-spelling-error\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_3\">fleischkeukle<\/span> (I thought), but the guys out cooking said to send the truck back and double the order. Thank goodness, because we served over 1000 people! The line was out the door and around the corners for a long long time. It was a beautiful day, so I sure hope people didn&#8217;t mind standing in line and chatting in the sunshine while they waited to be served. <\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div>Even the kids had a great time duct taping the <span class=\"blsp-spelling-error\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_4\">Fauts<\/span> to the walls. For a dollar a strip, they earned a nice little chunk of money! <\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div>Thank you to all who donated baked good and volunteered to set up, cook, clean and keep the day running smoothly. The Lions Club was awesome and the guys cooking were kept of their toes! I also loved our little Girl Scouts who bussed tables all day long with smiles on their faces.<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div>Again thank you for again showing me another great thing about small town living!<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div>Here is a link to the slideshow of the day: (its kind of big so give it some time to download)<a href=\"http:\/\/www.photographybyjustine.net\/BenefitWEb.exe\">http:\/\/www.photographybyjustine.net\/BenefitWEb.exe<\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192803815241710194\" style=\"DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/bp2.blogger.com\/_t6cPgUduFVs\/SBCLjqvGenI\/AAAAAAAAALY\/MwM2T72czOQ\/s400\/Benefit055.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192803823831644802\" style=\"DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/bp0.blogger.com\/_t6cPgUduFVs\/SBCLkKvGeoI\/AAAAAAAAALg\/a1msTQCvqrk\/s400\/Benefit066.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192804257623341778\" style=\"DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/bp1.blogger.com\/_t6cPgUduFVs\/SBCL9avGetI\/AAAAAAAAAMI\/gVoH3rTz4So\/s400\/Benefit162.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192803832421579426\" style=\"DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/bp2.blogger.com\/_t6cPgUduFVs\/SBCLkqvGeqI\/AAAAAAAAALw\/GS1cxRLD2FA\/s400\/Benefit098.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192803828126612114\" style=\"DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/bp1.blogger.com\/_t6cPgUduFVs\/SBCLkavGepI\/AAAAAAAAALo\/muVLfm1jdOE\/s400\/Benefit075.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192804249033407170\" style=\"DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/bp3.blogger.com\/_t6cPgUduFVs\/SBCL86vGesI\/AAAAAAAAAMA\/VRV_len596M\/s400\/Benefit141.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have to tell you, that back where I come from I had never heard of a benefit.
