After their Sunday 10 a.m. service, chapel members were invited to enjoy each other's company to celebrate Labor Day on Sept. 3.
This brunch was dedicated to Helen Schaefer, a beloved member of the chapel and a committed office volunteer, who recently died.
Val Evanko, chapel event chair, hosted the event. She decorated with American colors, as well as putting different tools on the tables representing different jobs in the workforce. To make it an interactive event, she made a trivia game based on the history of the holiday.
Most chapel members said that their favorite part of these events, other than the community, is the food. Chef David Stone did not disappoint. He served French toast, eggs Benedict, bacon and fruit.
Every member was smiling thanks to Stone's food and mimosas and the laughs they were sharing around their tables.
On the way out, Evanko and Karen Pashkow started throwing out ideas for their next party.
