We’ve had a pretty full weekend at the Urban Deli as far as keeping busy goes. On Friday, we provided 24 Operation Red Nose volunteers a hearty home made chicken soup with tea biscuits, two dips (our roasted garlic and artichoke and Hummus dips served with seasoned pita chips) and topped off with a mixed dessert tray of Deli goodies.
We spoke with Katie, the coordinator, and she tells us the volunteers made up seven teams of drivers and they chauffeured thirty-four trips, raising over $500 in donations — the largest amount raised in a single night thus far. (We’re not yet sure how last night went.) Last weekend they raised the same amount over two days.
So congratulations to everyone at Operation Red Nose and a big thank you to all the volunteers!
Music last night
Last night was another of our music nights and we welcomed Karen Palmer, an old soul and story teller with an affinity for Saint John history that comes through in her music, particularly in her own creative works such as “The West Side Song.”
Karen has a crystal clear sound, a bit reminiscent of Jewel. She brought us her own creativity, style and accomplished guitar playing to make it a warm and inviting evening. So many thanks to Karen.
And thanks as well to our Twitter followers for their tweets and retweets!
