St. James’ Anglican Church ladies have been busy with kitchen duties, having cooked a turkey and meatball supper for 200 people on Nov. 1. Male members delivered an additional 30 meals as take-outs. Sally Carter officially opened the supper, which was attended by Paul and Jean Curtis, Nigel and Barbara Packwood, formerly of St. James’ ministry and now residents of Brandon. 

The annual fall tea, held on Saturday, Nov. 21, was not as well attended as expected. Sales of home baking, handcrafts and penny raffle were down, partly due to a conflicting local fundraiser the same day .

The aprons were put away on Tuesday evening, Dec. 1 when Shelly Mom’s Kitchen restaurant staff did the cooking. Sally asked the blessing before the bounteous smorgasboard-style meal. Gordon Allen was master of ceremonies, with help from his wife Lois, and Jean Ryall. The latter distributed prizes from a silent auction; Norman Short attended to the spirits. Greg Esplin conducted a trivia contest, and no one sang! Paul and Jean were once again welcomed at this supper, as were Jim and Bernadette Njegovan of St. Matthews’ Cathedral in Brandon.
