Coffee Hour Weekly Update: Sunday 7/18
I’ve started posting the weekly updates and other information to the Coffee Hour website: http://www.stdavidscoffeehour.blogspot.com . The summer instructions are on there too, as well as the link to the summer schedule. If you put a shortcut on your computer desktop, you are only one click away to everything you need to know about coffee hour . . . Please note that we are still working on the website, so some of the links on the right side don’t work at this point. We are planning to put up a coffee hour page in the fellowship section of the church website. There will be a link on that page to our coffee hour website, so that should make it easier to find.
THIS WEEK IN LEMONADE AND ICED TEA
Sunday 7/18: Susan Smart, Beth Beckett and Sandi Endres are setting up and cleaning up.
LOOKING AHEAD . . .
Sunday 7/25: Bette Ann Oppenheim, Ginny Spofford and Susan Scauzzo are on set up. Bette Ann and Ginny will be cleaning up.
Sunday 8/1: Bette Ann Oppenheim is setting up and Joanne Goins is cleaning up. We need at least two more people to help out. How about folks who are around, but haven’t signed up for a summer spot yet? Please let either me or Susan Smart know or go straight to the schedule on the website and sign up.
Stay cool!

Where the tablecloths are stored
The clean cloth tablecloths that are used the rest of the year are stored in the closet between the restrooms in the undercroft (lower level). Go downstairs using the stairs at the entrance of the fellowship hall. At the bottom of the stairs, turn left. The closet will be on your left between the two bathrooms. A diagram showing the location of the closet is on the bulletin board in the kitchenette. (Having trouble posting it here!)
Weekly Update: Sunday 7/11
ODDS AND ENDS:
Summer instructions are posted in the kitchen. One modification—we are going to use regular (versus diet) ice tea mix. The diet mix is about three times more expensive for some reason. Ice water will be the sugar-free alternative. There are new red-checked vinyl tablecloths in the coffee hour closet. You will see that coffee is set up for the summer choir. Toshi will clean up the table and carafes. He usually does this before the service lets out.
THIS WEEK IN COFFEE
Vicki Higgins, Edie Lewis and Kate Farrow on set up. Kristin Nevins, Vicki Higgins and Joanne Goins are cleaning up.
LOOKING AHEAD . . .
Sunday 7/18: Susan Smart, Beth Beckett and Sandi Endres are setting up and cleaning up.
Sunday 7/25: Bette Ann Oppenheim, Ginny Spofford and Susan Scauzzo are on set up. Ginny is also signed up for clean up. Could someone else help her out?
Thanks to everyone for helping out through the dog days of summer!
Summer Coffee Hour Instructions
Two long tables and trash cans should already be set up on the porch. Vinyl tablecloths are in the coffee hour closet outside the kitchenette. The tablecloths blow during the service, so either weight them down or wait to put them on until leaving church after Communion.
Beverages:
There are 7 pitchers in the coffee hour closet. Each pitcher holds approximately 1 ¼ gallon. (1 gallon of beverage plus ice). Make up beverages and refrigerate before the service. Long spoons for stirring are in the closet to the right of the refrigerator.
· 3 pitchers of pink lemonade
· 2 pitchers of iced tea
· 2 pitchers of ice water
Pink Lemonade: packets are in kitchenette. Each packet makes 2 gallons, so use ½ packet per pitcher.
Iced Tea: Follow instructions for 1 gallon.
Ice is available in machine in downstairs kitchen. Fill a couple of bowls of ice and leave in either the freezer or fridge before the service (Neither option is perfect. Freezer—may be frozen solid and need to be chipped apart; Fridge—may melt partially)
Add ice to pitchers before taking out to porch.
Cups and napkins are in the big drawers in the kitchenette.. Use 8 oz. cups. Napkins can be put in the small blue buckets so that they don’t blow.
Snacks:
Snacks are in the closet to the right of the refrigerator. There also may be leftover snacks in the freezer (use these up first). Put out 3 or 4 baskets of snacks.
Clean up:
Wipe off table cloths and wash pitchers. Stow everything in the coffee hour closet and lock.
