Cafe Update

EBF Cafe committee member, Judy Schwartz, helped Claudia Lipski with the assembly, cleaning and organization of the EBF Cafe dishes. Over the years, people have generously donated dishes for use in the Cafe, some of which have accumulated in boxes in the Cafe basement. All these various dishes are now clean, organized and ready for use by the new Cafe operators!

We are grateful for all past donations and will continue to accept dishes, especially tea cups and fine china.

Ron Biel has been contracted to construct the shelving; Maureen Carey has volunteered to do all the renovations and oversee the project.
