To all our KIFFLE VOLUNTEERS .. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

We were blessed to see so many new faces along with our faithful Queenship of Mary Parishioners and our loyal helpers from other parishes, especially our sister parish, Assumption BVM. The ladies from Philly and New Jersey were here again!!! Our week started with unwrapping many pounds of butter & cream cheese, weighing flour and mixing the dough. Women and men worked together to prepare and measure the dough patties so we could begin rolling the dough, filling and creating the kiffles. While the tireless volunteers prepared the kiffles, we were grateful that many men assisted as runners: making sure that the rollers were supplied with dough patties and the trays were delivered and later collected when ready for baking. This teamwork ensured that the bowls of filling were never empty and the flour was abundant. We appreciate the men who washed dishes all day (Johnny on the spot, never a dirty dish!!!). Thanks to the men and women who mixed the nut filling, packed & marked boxes and sorted the orders. The order sheets and labels provided by 2 of our wonderful volunteers made this process much easier. Our sincerest thanks to our bakers, who kept close watch on the ovens guaranteeing the perfect results. Our gratitude to the volunteers who shopped ahead of time for the ingredients and to those that picked up the food to nourish our workers. Our thanks to the gentleman that paid for the chicken at lunch. Thanks also to those who provided food for lunch and goodies for our coffee breaks. Thanks to those that contributed their time on Saturday so the orders were distributed successfully, and to those who came back in to clean the ovens and the kitchen. Thanks to the couple who come in early and stay late to get things ready for us to start baking in the morning. A special acknowledgement to the Kiss family and their helpers who set up and took down the tables, and our “early birds” who came in every morning to set up for the day. To Father Lamb, thank you for your prayers and Donna for watching over us. We made over 2,000 dozen kiffles, a great success!!!
