Wednesday evening at the annual meeting of the Medfield Food Cupboard Beth Eby stepped down after 15 years as president of the MFC. Beth has been involved with the MFC since it opened in 1992, and as the long time president she has been it’s face to the community, but she assured the fifty gathered MFC member volunteers that it was really all of them who were the MFC.
New president Martha Sherman and a series of other volunteers took turns guiding Beth through her history with the MFC as she opened one trash bag after another, each containing a different hat representing another function that she had served for the organization. As Beth choose another bag to open and pulled off one had after another and put it on, another member of the assembled group of MFC volunteers would walk forward to describe Beth in one more MFC role.
The elf hat in this photo was for leading the Christmas celebration. There were probably eight or nine bags and hats, each description funnier and more poignant than the others. This observer was left with the cost impression both that Beth had done huge amounts to enlarge and facilitate the operation of the MFC, but also that the volunteers have a lot of fun doing their good works and clearly have lots of love for one another.

I am afraid that I do not know. There has been past fumes leakage into the house next door, and the present work may be related to that past leakage. There is an article about it in the Medfield Press this week that does not definitely say.
