Erin Bonifate, assistant director at Living Lord Lutheran Church’s All God’s Children Preschool, said that by the end of the day, she had no clue how many noodles she had helped prepare.
Bonifate and other volunteers spent all of Tuesday, April 5, getting the church ready and getting the catered food ready to serve for the sixth annual spaghetti dinner that night.
“We were swimming in noodles and meatballs,” she said with a laugh.
The preschool dinner brought in more than 250 people to the Italian-themed feast. All proceeds from the ticket sales and silent auction helped raise money for the preschool.
