Christmas Day Dinner 2012 Report & Photos

The Christmas Day Dinner hosted by UnitingCare Goulburn North East together with the Uniting Church Wangaratta Parish was a roaring success.  They expected 104 people and 120 turned up.  Extra tables were set up and every chair in the church complex was found and used. Those who arrived early we treated to recorded carols and Christmas stories in the Church.  There was a great atmosphere of celebration.

The meal in the Hall was provided by North East Health Wangaratta, and those on the kitchen team did an outstanding job serving them up considering the extra numbers. The program included carol singing, table game, and a powerpoint presentation “The Chocolate Christmas Story.”  

Father Christmas arrived while we were singing “Jingle Bells” and  the children helped him to give each person a gift, along with a jar of home-made jam, lovingly prepared beforehand by a small group of volunteers from the Uniting Church.

Each team did their required tasks flawlessly and everything flowed smoothly.  

The whole dinner including the preparation, implementation and cleaning up was superbly co-ordinated.  Special thanks go to the UCGNE CEO and co-ordinator as well as the Master Of Ceremonies for an excellent job.  Grateful thanks must also go to all those who donated treats or home baked goods for the take-home gift boxes.
