Israeli Consulate Here Today, Preps Tomorrow

The Israeli Consul General and the entire consulate staff volunteered at St. Anthony’s Dining Room today. In fact, they closed the office to do it. They not only helped serve today’s meal, but also prepped tomorrow’s Schuman Meal, one of five special meals St. Anthony’s serves annually that involves gourmet ingredients and a star entree. We definitely needed the extra hands.

The consulate staff took to heart Dolores’ request to greet guests and exchange a smile. They were compassionate and flexible when a guest was taken ill. And they stayed a long time afterward to ask questions. We’re looking forward to their next shift.
