‘Waiters’ dress up for cancer society

Dinner guests at the Golden Corral in Palatka, Florida were treated to quite the experience February 25, 2008 when local officials and business leaders put on costumes and became waiters for the night..all to benefit the American Cancer Society.

According to http://www.palatkadailynews.com/ "Event founder and organizer Mary Makie Conner said she was very happy with the turnout.“This is the 21st year we’ve held the event and it’s always a lot of fun,” Conner said. She added that the event started to honor her father who died from cancer. She later lost her husband to cancer and continues the annual event in their honor...Conner said the event had raised more than $6,000 and more money still was coming in."

Participants in the event included Mayor Karl Flagg and the School Superintendent, the Supervisor of elections,County commissioners and others. Along with the tips and money raised through the sale of Mardi Gras beads, Golden Corral donated a portion of each dinner price to the American Cancer Society.
