PREPARING FOR WOMEN'S CONFERENCE LUNCHEON
I was asked to "chair" the food committee for a huge Women's Conference Luncheon that was held at our church last Saturday. Over the last few months, there have been numerous meetings to figure out who had time to work me -- selecting a menu -- taste testing some ideas -- and then seeing if we could stay within our $800.00 budget (to feed 350+). Above are some pictures of my ever-faithful helpers as we "prep" the day before the event.
The Menu
Turkey Wraps with Seasoned Cream Cheese Spread
Roasted Vegetable Pasta Salad
Fruit Garnish (Orange Slices, Fanned Strawberry, Grapes)
Lemon Cheese Bars with Raspberry Drizzle
The morning of the event was CRAZY fun times -- we came up with "wrap" names and "wrap songs" and thought we would go crazy before we got all 350 done!! We got the grapes, oranges and 17 cake mixes donated and were able to pull it off for $1.90 per person -- $100.00 under budget! The only problem with it being such a huge success is they will probably be asked if we can do it again next year!
Our husbands volunteered to be our servers! One particular server was VERY cute!!
Some pictures of the place all decorated. They even burned a CD of wonderful peaceful instrumentals for everyone and had it at your place. Cute ... cute!

Wow! I wish I could have one of those tasty little plates full of food right now. They turned out great! That shot of the long table is crazy! Yeah, you're right - they will probably ask you to do it again. That's why you should have just served Spam.
Okay, if I ever have to do something like that, I will pay to fly you down here, even PAY you to do it! You are too awesome for words! Very impressive!
