Can one family of five, plus two grandparents, combine efforts and commit to one act of service each day, for one year? Paul, Patricia, twins Bianca & Olivia (age 18), Sophia (age 11), and their Nana and Buppa, plan to honor the 10 year anniversary of the loss of my sister with a year dedicated to service. Together, with maybe the help of a relative here or there, we will commit to 365 days of volunteering,contributing or supporting, in appreciation of what we have.... and who we have lost.

Day 343: Contributing to the Greek Church
Philip and I are visiting our dear friends ,Joan and Frank, in Florida. Frank's brother and sister-in-law are very active at/in the Archangel Michael Greek Orthodox Church here and every Friday night, the church has a supper to benefit the church. Tonite, we went to the supper and it was delightful! There was a wonderful choice of meals --fish, stuffed peppers, and lamb to name a few--and each one of them was delicious according to all those at our table.Volunteers from their very small congregation do all the preparing, serving and cleaning up. We met some of Joan and Frank's friends--one couple from Waltham, Ma and another from New Hampshire-and discussed the weather in New England among many other things. Another reason we were happy to be supporting Archangel Michael Church, is that is the church that our dear friends and former neighbors, Jack and Nancy Jarnis attended and helped build, when they were living here in Florida . It was an evening of friendship, satisfaction and love and we were so happy to support their cause.
