I promise to take pics and post them y'all. They won't be the best but pics none the less. I've already warned my family and friends. LOL! Some in my group just don't get the whole pic thing yet, but they love the food! Ann, I agree, it was great talking to you! Sherry, if you ever want some more HC just let me know. Linda, I will try to post that recipe in the next couple of days. This will be one of our new ones to try this year. I hope to fool BIL with the spinach. It is still on page 63 Karen. Thanks again Karen for a super swap box! It will go down in history with me and my family and friends! BTW, the Mayhaw Jelly is fantastic! David

Last year our theme was "The Magic of Volunteering" and the centerpieces were black top hats with white gloves and a wand. That was it. Back story on the candy buffet: I had gone to a wedding and they had the candy buffet set up. As I watched, repeatedly folks were pointing at something on the table and then engaging in conversation with someone. I thought it might be a good way to get our volunteers to interact with each other. If they elect to take some candy, fine. If not, that will be OK, as I have a place to take all the leftovers. To maintain our government funding we are required to host a recognition event, this is it. We have about 500 RSVP members and close to 200 come for the luncheon. Many don't know each other, this was my idea to get more interaction. If there are people who are diabetic and they elect to take some candy, then I don't have a concern. After working in a nursing home for several years, I am aware that some folks who are diabetic do not adhere to the proper regimen. Most diabetics won't have serious consequences if they were to consume several pieces of candy (I intend to have things like wax lips, buttons on a strip, bulls-eyes, Mallo cups, etc. all individually wrapped). The candy can or cannot tie into the 'theme' of the event. "Volunteers are sweet!" (that was my idea and the missus shot me down quickly). Some good ideas for centerpieces have been offered. The more options there are to consider the better. Thanks for the responses.
