This homemade quiche with “WELCOME CRAIG” spelled out in a red pepper font symbolized the warm welcome local LifeRing participants extended Sunday evening to Craig Whalley, the new Executive Director of LifeRing, who has moved to Berkeley from Port Angeles WA. LifeRing participants from as far away as Sacramento took part. San Francisco LifeRing participant Shauna W. baked and decorated the quiche.
I want to thank all the people who came and brought tasty dishes and beverages for the potluck to welcome Craig, and especially those who helped distribute leftovers and clean up afterward. It was a pleasure to host the event and to touch base with old friends and new. – Marty N.
