The Donovan Memorial United Methodist Church ( http://www.donovanumc.org/ ), my home church in Singers Glen, Virginia, has held an Election Day Meal since about 1945.
This is always an outstanding meal with oysters, turkey, country ham and ALL the trimmings followed by many, many choices of homemade pies..........MMmmmm...good!

I was a pie-cutter this year and was "plumb wore out" but really enjoyed the fellowship with Gayle Davis, the head pie-cutter, other workers, and guests.
Juanita McMullen has served the oysters for over 50 years. I think it's longer than that but she is modest. When you come to the Election Day Dinner you KNOW Juanita is going to be serving the oysters!
We sold approximately 160 meals but I don't know how much profit there was. The important thing, besides a delicious meal, is the teamwork that happens to continue with the various missions and projects of the church.
It is a privilege for me to be a part of such a tradition and work with people who have known me since I was born.... and I have known them and treasure knowing them.
p.s. I had a few more photos but have filed them in "a safe place." If I find them, I'll add them to this post.
