Fun night at the Food Bank

Fun night on the assembly line at the Utah Food Bank. We packed 400+ boxes of nonperishable food for seniors in need in the Salt Lake Valley. Thanks, Jayne Barnett, for arranging this great service project, and thanks Dave Ruprecht for breaking down hundreds if not thousands of cartons!

And the final dress is:
