Annual community dinner was served at Coshocton
By Marianne Austin
Coshocton High School ’ s 20th year preparing and serving a Thanksgiving dinner in the cafeteria for the Coshocton community took place Nov . 16 . This is an opportunity for student service club members to unite with the community through serving , bussing tables and talking with people .
“ Actually , it takes a whole village . It takes the whole kitchen to help and get everything ready .” Alisa Howell
One-hundred student volunteers interacted with 344 people signed up for the dinner . Thirty-five veterans signed up for pickup , and some of the orders were delivered . Boy Scout Troop 403 helped with the orders .
Cathy Waibel , meal coordinator in charge of donations , has been doing this event for 20 years .
“ We are doing veteran takeouts only and some deliveries . The kids are serving , everyone is helping , the kids enjoy doing this and that ’ s what makes it all worthwhile . Boy Scout Troop 403 helped with deliveries ,” Waibel said .
For a little nostalgia and fun , Waibel was dressed as a pilgrim in a costume she made 20 years ago .
Alisa Howell oversaw cooking the meal . “ Actually , it takes a whole village . It takes the whole kitchen to help and get everything ready . We started cooking this morning at 8:30 ,” she said . “ The staff prepared 48 hams for the dinner .”
