Skip the Kitchen Perogy Take Out Dinner Successful Michelle Pinon News Advertiser Forget Skip the Dishes. Skip the Kitchen. The latter wasn’t just a novel idea cooked up by a member of the Mundare Seniors Club, it was an entire group effort by volunteer members when they hosted a highly successful Perogy Take Out Dinner on July 17. Club President Judy Shaw said it was the first time they have ever held an event like this, and felt it went well. Members served up 118 take-out meals. The three-hour
event was so popular they had to turn away 20 people because they ran out of food. As with anything new there is a learning curve, and Shaw said they should have filled the reserve orders before filling the drop in orders. She said most people were understanding when they told them they ran out of food, and that it was their first time hosting the Perogy Take Out Dinner. Shaw said they will make provisions for that when they host the next Perogy Take Out Dinner on Friday, August 21. Usually they get around 120 people at the club’s regular sit down perogy supper, noted Shaw. But those dinners were halted when the COVID-19 health and safety restrictions came into effect. Shaw said they rely on those dinners to cover utility, insurance and maintenance expenses. “We had to come up with something because we had no revenue,” said Shaw. Two weeks ago they had a perogy making bee where they made 1,620 perogies. Prior to the event preparations had to be made, and the day of the event volunteers cooked the perogies, ham, vegetables and dessert. Shaw was grateful for the support of all the volunteer, some of which included: Lois Zyla, Eugenia Panych, Sam Wasylenchuk, Joe Prystash, Bob Gratton, Loria Valla, Sheri Regis, and Danny and Linda Seguin.

said she misses getting together for the sit down dinners, but was happy to purchase the take out meal as a delicious substitute. Mundare resident Dianne Blair echoed the same sentiment and said she usually comes to the perogy dinners when she isn’t working. “They’re awesome,” added Blair, who will undoubtedly be coming back for more.
