Cortney Gunderson and Cooper Mauldin share a laugh in the kitchen as they fill up a plate of fruit pizza. Gunderson said, "One of the JUMP members brought the pizza but had to leave. It's kind of tricky to cut and get on a plate."
Lois Butcher smiles as she's reminded it's her birthday. Later, during JUMP's Ultimate Salad and Dessert Bar, the guests at Wallner Hall sang "Happy Birthday" to Lois. She did not divulge her age.
According to Chrissy Downs, one of several adult leaders involved with JUMP's recent fundraiser at Wallner Hall, "The gloomy weather might have worked to our advantage, discouraging people from doing outdoor activities.
They came to enjoy our Ultimate Salad and Dessert Bar, a good thing for our youth group." The Chinook-based youth group will be doing a destination mission trip this year, doing worship and service projects in Helena, Missoula, Coeur d'Alene and Kalispell.
The Sunday meal was part of their fundraising activities to support the cost of JUMP's mission trip this coming summer.
By late Sunday morning the JUMP members had a wide choice of salads and desserts all plated and ready for arriving guests. A half hour later the JUMP team was setting up more tables, chairs and place settings, the guests just kept coming. Downs estimated about 130 guests attended.
It was amazing how many varieties of salads were spread out in a buffet-style serving line. There was an equally wide selection of desserts. It was a great event and well attended. Downs said the Ultimate Salad and Dessert Bar was one of JUMP's major fundraising events for the annual mission trip.
