The 2009 Lutefisk and meatball dinner is over for another year. Almost four hundred people enjoyed an evening of lutefisk, meatballs, potatoes, rutabagas, peas and dessert. Many positive comments were received on how good the lutefisk was.
This annual dinner brings people from all over the area to Zion. A special thanks goes out to all of the volunteers who donate their time year after year to make this event a success, the new people who volunteered this year for the first time, and youth who volunteered.
To keep the price from increasing and to satisfy those who never seem to get their fill of this delicacy, $1 contributions were collected for second helpings. The money raised from seconds went to the Buffalo Food Shelf and to others in need.
The money that is left after expenses will again be used in a number of ways:
- Buffalo Food Shelf
- Our partner church Redeemer in North Minneapolis
- Zion’s Sunday School
- Zion’s Youth Ministries
- Zion’s kitchen
Lastly, a portion of the proceeds will be supplemented by matching funds from Thrivent to help fund the Pastor’s Discretionary Fund to aid those in need.
Mark your calendars now for next October 29 – the 2010 Lutefisk and Meatball dinner.
