The coffee hour hosts have heard several suggestions that we consider returning to St. Clare’s pre-COVID practice of using the church’s many durable plates, cups, glasses, and silverware instead of their disposable equivalents. To accomplish this, we’re putting out a call for volunteers who could stay until the end of coffee hour on Sundays to clean these dishes in our new (fast, effective, frankly pretty cool) industrial dishwasher, and then put them away. Once we’re able to identify a rotating crew of dishwashers, we’ll be thrilled to make this change. If you’re interested in doing this, please reach out to Myles Clarke at myles.b.clarke@gmail.com.
