Three months after our previous Sandwiches on Sunday (SOS) it was our turn to serve lunch to whomever showed up at the Redwood City community center.
We brought eight trays of lasagna--some enterprising cooks made the dishes from scratch (your humble observer always buys the $13 pre-made frozen version from Costco). Well, I'm sure they'll be given credits in the Great Database, which we old-timers used to call the Permanent Record.
Today we had ten teenagers who served the lasagna, salad, and drinks and who distributed the brown-bag lunches for the guests to take home. In response to a question from one of the teens, I said that a group from St. Pius Parish, which organizes SOS, meets each Saturday morning to assemble the lunches. He seemed genuinely taken aback. They have to get up every Saturday morning? Yes, they're very dedicated.
The young man I was speaking to attends every SOS, unless his baseball team is playing. The charitable spirit builds slowly. Before long, others will marvel at his dedication.
