<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Greetings!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As I shop for the soup kitchen this year I find, to
my dismay, that prices have indeed increased. I'm afraid that, in order to
keep up with the economy's fluctuations, we are going to have to raise the soup
lunch price to $6.00 per person. Just as a reminder, that lunch consists
of:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>a bowl of soup: beef & barley, chicken noodle,
ham & bean, french onion, venison stew, or lentil (as well as a couple of
others)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>a roll</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>a piece of cheese or a boiled egg</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>a piece of fruit: apple, orange or
banana</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and a pickle</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And don't forget that there will be a bake sale
where you can purchase something nummy for dessert. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I hope to see everyone this Saturday.</FONT></DIV>
