Annual Rotary Halloween Costume Party for Kids A long standing tradition that children in Huron have participated in for many years during the Halloween season will be held on Wednesday October 26th. The annual Huron Rotary Halloween COstume Party for kids will be held outside this year at the Huron High School Stadium. If the weather is inclement, then the party will be moved inside the high school gym. This year’s event starts at 6:45 p.m., with children assembling from 6:30 to 6:45 near the concession stand on the home side of the track at the Huron High School Stadium. The children will then
parade by age groups in front of the home side stands. Each child will receive “ bags to be filled with lots of special treats”. Children pre-school age thru sixth grade are invited to attend, and everyone including parents and grandparents will receive cider, donuts and cookies. Participants are asked to wear softsoled shoes, and park in the area west of the high school gym. There is no charge for this annual event as it is meant to be a community service project sponsored by the Huron Rotary Club
Christ’s Community Meal Nearing Two Years of Serving the Huron Community By Lisa Yako

In November of 2009, a small group of volunteers decided to offer a free dinner for those in need in Huron. That first meal, which was held at Christ Episcopal Church, served 45 people. This was the beginning of Christ’s Community Meal. Fast forward nearly two years, and some things have changed and some have stayed the same. The mission of the community meal has remained the sameto serve those in need a warm, cooked meal that is made with love and served with love. In January 2011, the location of the meal was changed from the small meeting hall at Christ Church to the larger Fellowship Hall at First Presbyterian Church. Beginning in April 2011, the meal went from being offered one time per month to two times per month- the second and fourth Wednesdays. The biggest change in the meal is in the number of people served. This past Wednesday, 124 meals were served, which included 62 home deliveries. Of those served at the meal, 95 % are from Huron. Serving 100+ meals takes a great deal of planning, as well as between 25 to 30 volunteers. Volunteers, who primarily come from the six Huron churches, are needed to work as prep cooks, set up the dinning room, serve the meal, tend the dessert table, assist in the dinning room during the meal, clean the dinning room and kitchen, and deliver meals. Food donations come from Gordon Food Service (GFS) and Huron Market, and other food is purchased from Second Harvest Food Bank. Often the prep cooks do not know what food
will be available until the day before or day of the meal, so they must act like Iron Chefs! The six churches of Huron support Christ’s Community Meal with monthly donations and other donations come from individuals and organizations. After donating food to Christ’s Community Meal during the past year, GFS manager, Chris Walter, and assistant manager, Jason Thom, volunteered at the meal on Wednesday, October 12. Walter was truly surprised that there were so many people in need in Huron and was impressed that the meal was able to help these people. According to Walter, the meal “really encompasses the picture of who Christ really was and those involved are living it out.” Walter was also impressed with the young people who volunteered their time to help. Christ’s Community Meal is touching lives in a number of ways. Chris Hakeman, one of the originators of Christ’s Community Meal, stated: “I really believe my life has been enriched since the soup kitchen begun. I believe that has happened to all of us. As for our guests, they are becoming like family or friends! We can laugh together or cry together!” Hakeman sees a bright future for the meal. Her only wish would be for a van that could be used to transport people who cannot drive themselves to the meal and to deliver meals to homebound residents. If you are in need of a warm meal, plan to attend the next meal on Wednesday, October 26 at 5 PM. If you would like to volunteer, give Chris Hakeman a call at 419-4334903.
