Lunch With A Purpose, Monthly Gathering, Fundraising Lunch, Rehoboth Beach, Friday, February 7, 2014, Women’s Organization Making a Difference in Coastal Delaware
A women’s organization that started in 2006….they all lunch and gather the second Friday of the month until May with a purpose in mind…..to raise funds for those in need in the community.
At this time of the year you will find Rehoboth Beach taking a rest, but on the second Friday of every month women drive long distances to Rehoboth Beach to have lunch, get together, and have a great time for a few hours.
I have been to a few and it is awesome to see the power of women when they get together. These lunches are usually a sell-out.
If you would like to attend any of these lunches, please send an email to Cheryl Mitchell at cherylmitchell13@gmail.com. She is at the helm and will be able to put you on her email list for future lunches.
Each month the charitable organization picked, will be the host, and in charge of obtaining the donations for the auction, raffle items, etc. etc. The popular 50/50 is always at the lunch.
They will be introducing themselves to the community. Some of these organizations you may know, others will be completely new to you.
You will be asked to make a menu selection. The lunch is $20 in cash. Cash bar available, as well.
Each lunch asks for your generosity…please bring non-perishable items for the Food Bank of Delaware.
On Friday, January 10th, I attended the lunch. The lunch was at the Rehoboth Beach Golf & Country Club. Sold out, as usual.
Already women were going over the auction items….The host was the Rehoboth Beach Boys and Girls Club.
An introduction to Maria Edgerton who was in charge on behalf of the Rehoboth Beach Boys and Girls Club of Delaware. They are part of a nationwide movement whose mission is to inspire and enable all young people, especially those who need them most, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible, and caring citizens. This club serves local children ages 5 to 15. They are located at 19285 Holland Glade Rd. in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, at the Epworth United Methodist Church. Tel. 302-260-9864.

Our table was simple and elegant….we had our raffle tickets, 50/50 tickets, and had already dropped one or more auction tickets on our favorite items…hoping to win something. But first, we were having lunch.
I had chosen the grilled salmon and it was moist and delicious.
My partner in crime, Jody, chose the cheese and asparagus Quiche with fruit. She was pretty happy.
The third menu item was a chicken salad wrap with a cup of vegetable soup. It looked great, but unfortunately, I could not take a picture.
The Chef’s choise of dessert was a lemon meringue pie. A few bites told me that I could eat the whole thing too. Bla bla bla…too much talking and I forgot to take the picture.
I WON!!!! This shell caught my attention. They told me the potter was Pottery with Love, Milton, Delaware.
Next Lunch with a Purpose will be on Friday, February, 7th. Location? The Atlantic Sands Hotel on the Boardwalk in Rehoboth Beach. This month’s hosts are Suzanne Landon and the friends and supporters of Cancer Support Community Delaware.
