Arrive at 8:30 AM on Saturday to set up the prep for the volunteers; lead the preparation of the quiche and wait for them to bake/cool. You will be finished around 12:30 PM. A full description including the recipe is available, upon request, from D-L. Thank you, Paul, for your leadership and dedication to this ministry.
