MCC Sale

Have you ever been to your local MCC Sale?
In the past few years I've had the privilege to attend MCC  Relief Sales in other
communities and it is always interesting to see how similar to each other these sales are,
whether in the US or in Canada, and I'm quite sure I could add other countries.
There is a common thread of like-minded people serving for a good cause.
A lot of the food, from what I've seen, is the same -
how can that be?
Handcrafted furniture, toys, quilts, canned goods,
crafts that volunteers have worked on all year for this weekend
with no other intent but to give to those in need.
There are auctions, activities for kids and live music groups . . .

and if you do not need anything . . .
you can still enjoy some great ethnic food and
meet up with long lost friends.

I was talking with my cousin who spent a day this week in the kitchen with other volunteers
mixing Rollkuchen dough to be ready to roll and cook on the weekend.
She told me she cracked 680 eggs
and they used 160 kg or 350 lbs of flour.
That is just for the Rollkuchen.
I wonder how many cabbages were chopped for Borscht
and how many Warenike have been made?

If you can come to the Abbotsford MCC Relief Sale
tonight or tomorrow morning, come by the Souvenir Booth, close to Ten thousand Villages,
and purchase a book or two to help provide clean water for kids in Kenya.
It sure would not be fun to sit there with no one coming by.
Just sayin' . . .
