The tables were covered with pink cloths and decorated with a Victorian theme using paper fans, pearls, candles and roses fashioned out of napkins. Carolyn Clouse, Tammy and Amy Soto, Myra Arquitt and Alicia Martinez were in charge of decorating.

A table holding a Bible and eye glasses with a chair near by provided a place to have pictures made. The menu was chicken, potatoes, gravy, steamed vegetables, salad, rolls, ice cream topped with berries, tea and coffee. Clayton Adams, pastor, prepared the meal.
