Guidelines for Sandwich Making

• Wash hands and use surgical gloves.

• Loaves of bread vary in size.

• Call a grocery store a day or two ahead to order sliced meat.

• Warehouse stores are a good place to buy fruit, drinks, and treats.

• Use mayonnaise and mustard packets, if possible.

• Avoid mayonnaise in warm weather.

• Many of our friends have dental problems; please purchase soft fruit (no apples, please.)

• Fruit cups are a good alternative to fresh fruit - please remember spoons.

• Large packages of cookies may be divided and bagged.
