(NB: If the serving staff could notify the Big Sir when they are about 10 – 15 minutes before delivering food, he could complete the opening parts of the program in a timely manner after all are seated.
One said the announcement about hospice was nice.
Two commented on the prayer. One is Jewish and doesn’t feel comfortable with the closing line of “in Jesus’ name”, and one said some folks may not believe in, or may have a different view of religion.

October 14 2024 Luncheon
Below is the Analysis of Comment Cards from October 14, 2024 SIR Branch 8 Lunch Meeting.
There were two cards turned in by two members. Neither member gave an attitude.
Food received two comments. The food was great, the meal was OK.
Both commenters lauded the service staff for being courteous, friendly and helpful while providing great service. This led to the most interesting comment; that the wait staff arranged for a new member to eat in isolation in the room used by the BEC, before he returned, masked, to the dining room. This allowed him to reduce his exposure to pathogens and thereby reduce the risk of infecting his susceptible spouse

Food received four comments. The lunch was good, it was good but awkward to eat, The dessert topping was weird. Meal was served very late.
A member was very disappointed because he ordered shrimp but got chicken, even though he asked if the “Fish” icon was for shrimp. One of the cashiers said he did not know which icon was for the shrimp and (seemed) indifferent to the question. Another staff member said that the “Fish” icon was for shrimp.
The sound system is great, although the remote mikes were having echo problems.
The Branch presentation was informative.
The most interesting comment asked how many of our 227 members actually participate in other activities than lunch?
