Upcoming
All Saints' Cafe Coming September 7!
The next fabulous All Saints Cafe will be Sunday Sept 7, 2008, from 5-7. At the Cafe we feed 150 of our homeless or hungry neighbors a five star meal, the likes of which have included scampi cappriccio, prime rib, and chicken kiev! We top that off with personal table service, a dining room decor extraordinare, and live music. For real, it rocks!!
YOU ARE NEEDED!
We need waiters, bussers, dishwashers, cooks, hosts, beverage makers, bread and butter platers, dessert makers, prep cooks, decorators and shoppers.
You can help the day of, the day before or the week before depending on what you want to do, or on when you can help.
Mostly we need about 50 people from 4m to 8pm to take it from start to finish. A little decorating starts Saturday afternoon or Sunday after the 11am service for those who can't take it into the later hours.
If you know what you want to do, shoot Alex Gee, volunteer coordinator (cafevolunteers@allsaintschicago.org) an email on what position you want on Sunday. If you have questions or want to volunteer for another day, write to Ed Bird (pictured above left) at allsaintscafe@ravenswoodcommunityservice.org.
