Our great neighborhood volunteers have for many years held a Valentine’s Day Thank You Luncheon for our local firefighters and police officers. Potluck dishes contributed by so many neighbors are giving way this year to a temporary sack lunch, and those same neighbors who previously cooked up their specialties are this year bringing fruit, individual desserts, and chips to accompany purchased sandwiches.
These will be packed in individual sacks to be delivered to 5th District headquarters, the three firehouses and the EMTs there who serve our neighborhood, and the Washington University police on Friday, February 12.
If you haven’t been contacted to participate by donating to this great annual activity, call SDCC at 862-5122 or just drop off or mail a donation to SDCC, 6008 Kingsbury to help future luncheons. Special thanks to Ruth Johnson and Arline Webb for their perennial leadership!
They want to say thanks to Busey Bank who are donating lovely (reusable!!) mesh bags for the lunches instead of the boring brown paper bags some of us will remember our school lunches being packed in!
