On Thursday, February 5th, love was truly in the air at Malta House as the Connecticut – South West Area gathered for an evening of fellowship and delicious food. Volunteers came together to prepare a comforting dinner of meatballs, pasta, green salad, and sautéed squash, which everyone enjoyed in the dining room beautifully decorated for Valentine’s Day.
The evening ended on a sweet note with Mary’s homemade cookies and a delicious coconut cake.
Heartfelt thanks to our head chef, Patti Smith, for coordinating such a wonderful evening. We hope you’ll join us for future Heart to Table gatherings in the months ahead!
