Samaritan's Purse is utilizing the property of the former Oriental Hotel (adjacent to MacArthur Landing Park) as a warehouse storage property. The current state of the property prevents its use for much else.A few of the kinder-hearted ladies here among the volunteers set up dinner for everyone, along the beach, with carols and prayer.
Dinner was catered by Steve from go-big-or-go-home Houston, Texas, who runs the local Texas Roadhouse. Steve lost a part of his restaurant, all of his Expat customers, but seems to be confident that he'll make it through this intact.
Traditional Christmas dinner: burgers, corn dogs, cole slaw, cucumber salad, onion rings and chocolate cake. Don't forget the Coca Cola.
