Super Soup Night a Fun Success:  This year’s Super Soup night was enjoyed by a full crowd, despite the frigid temperatures! 16 varieties of soup, as well as fresh buns, bread, and pie was served up. This was followed by a short skit, which involved a wife, whose husband falls ill suddenly after being asked to do some housework.  After consulting both a seasoned doctor and a new, young doctor, the diagnosis, “Vacuum-itis”  is given! Thank you, actors, for giving us all a laugh.  And thank you to all of the soup makers – the variety of recipes and excellent flavours were a true treat!
