• Only a third of the anticipated crowd showed up for last Saturday’s Ministerial Association Relief Service dinner in Snoqualmie, but none of the food was wasted. It was a long day for the workers, who were peeling potatoes at 9 a.m. By the time chef Robert Porter and his assistants began serving dinners at 4 p.m. they were hoping to serve 100, but only 32 showed up. “The attendance was smaller than desired, but it included the ones with serious long-term problems from the flood,” said local organizer Ken McCarty.
