leaving them on the hostess' front porch.

Fabulous prizes for the most cans of SPAM donated to the Atwood Community Center food pantry will be granted, thanks to an anonymous donor. Bring your donation to the Hotdish Hoedown and log in. Likely have to be present to collect prize, though not to be applauded. SPAM challenge: 2003 was the first year at the Atwood Community Center asked the Hotdish Hoedown hostess to challenge guests to bring SPAM to stock the food pantry. "When you're homeless or living in a car without electricity, SPAM is an important source of food," the hostess says. "It is portable. It is a good source of protein and calories. It doesn't need a can opener." "I was shocked to see how expensive SPAM is," she continues. "At $2.20 a can, the cost adds up quickly. I bought 10 cans this year, and another guest told me she bought more than 15. "In 2003
my guests contributed more than 130 cans," she says. "I
hope we can top that this year." |

Hotdish Hoedown 2007: Jell-O Contest
Members of Ladies Aid stopped by the hostess' house, heated up their glue guns and created the 2007 round of trophies for the Jell-O contest. Competition is expected to be fierce this year as the cohort of high school seniors plan their strategy.
Asked what flavor of Jell-O she bought them, their professional shopper reported at Scrabble night Thursdsay that she picks up several of every color.
Some in the party despaired at having to get up and collect the trophies for their more retiring colleagues. They threatened to leave after dropping off their creations. Others argued that they had to stay at the party, that their true media are popsicle sticks and glue guns available in the basement studio.
"Ah," thinks the hostess. "They like the glue guns. They could join Ladies Aid or its Auxiliary if they stay in town after high school. I hope they remember to send me their postal and electronic addresses …"
