Week 5 Colleen Neely

Nancy Held and Carl Neely at Oregon Ridge Nature Center's annual Pancake Breakfast. The fundraiser for the nature center is one of the only all year where all the proceeds go directly to the nature center to fund programs.

Held and Neely eat their pancakes, which are made by volunteers of the nature center. The pancake breakfast is extremely popular in the community and will serve about 300 people during one day of the two day fundraiser.

Elisa Anania and Kathy Kadow, two nature center volunteers, register people for memberships at the front door. Revenue from memberships helps fund the nature center. 

Anania and Kadow discuss the benefits of an Oregon Ridge membership. Some advantages include special access to programs and lectures hosted by the nature center.

Nan Neely, an Oregon Ridge volunteer makes pancake batter in the kitchen. The batter is then handed off to an assembly line of volunteers at griddles to make and serve pancakes to guests as they come in.

Neely has been a volunteer at Oregon Ridge for several years and always enjoys making pancake batter.

The batter has to be at a certain consistency when it is first made because it will sit for a few minutes before being cooked and volunteers have discovered that batter thickens heavily over time.

Her years of practice at making pancake batter for this fundraiser has given Neely an efficient and effective pancake batter making system.

In the Catholic Church, Easter is the most important day of the year. The day celebrates the rise of Jesus Christ to life after enduring crucifixion on Good Friday to pay for the sins of humanity. Many parishes undergo days of preparation for this event. At the Catholic Community of St. Francis Xavier (CCSFX) in Hunt Valley, MD, volunteers spend days preparing the church for the Easter Sunday Masses. The baptismal font at the front of the church is adorned with flowers to remind Catholics of the washing away of sins that also occurs at baptism. In the Catholic Church, parents choose baptism for their children and it is a sacrament typically performed during infancy. As is proclaimed by the banner, Jesus Christ rises on Easter Sunday. This event is considered proof that God will triumph over Satan, that good will always overcome evil. Easter is a central holiday to Catholics, as is seen in the crucifix affixed to the wall behind the alter. A team of volunteers spent da...
