The humble work of those behind the
scenes.The value of those beautiful individuals
who only wish to serve. I stand in awe. I embrace them. I honor them.
On Saturday, November 10th
I had the privilege of working closely with some amazing individuals. We, as a
team, a well lubricated machine, a precisely choreographed dance, an act of
Love and devotion to Arise for Social Justice, prepared a meal for 300 guests.
Some of us met at Christ Church Cathedral in the morning. Throughout the day,
others filtered in to lend their Love. In all of the years I have been working
in the culinary field, I have never experienced the level of willingness to
help, that I did for this event. It was a pleasure. I found each and every person
there to be a gift. We gave it our all. No corners cut. Everything that we did
that day was well focused. Our plan as a team was to prepare
quality food and serve it hot. The kitchen was spotless when we left thanks to
Sharon and all who helped clean up. The transportation team was something to be
envied by UPS, fast, efficient and task oriented.
A labor born of Love can only be a success.
I have come to know that it is all about relationships. I have learned this
through the devoted members of Arise for Social Justice. The priceless reward
of working with all of you on Saturday has had a profound effect on my life. I
am proud to be a fellow member of Arise with all of you. To all who helped that
day, Thank You.
