On Saturday, August 27, 6 members of the SJMC gathered at the Holy Family Picnic area adjacent to the Carriage House and assembled 10 heavy wooden outdoor picnic benches.  Eve with a couple of false starts (assemble first; read instructions later), it took just 2 ½ hours to complete the task in assembly line fashion.

                Thanks to Mike Gaffey, Tom Leen, Ben Chew, Al Rendon and Greg Stephens for responding to a call for service on short notice.
