On Saturday, November 25, 2006, eight members of the ASCE Hawaii Section YMF and eight Junior Girl Scouts and two parents from Troop 548 gathered to prepare, cook, and serve a mouth-watering barbecue dinner for the families staying at the Judd Hillside Ronald McDonald House.  With Tony Lau as the head chef, the menu included BBQ chicken and ribs with a wide variety of desserts provided by the Junior Girl Scouts.  After dinner, the Junior Girl Scouts organized a Thanksgiving craft activity with the children at the Ronald McDonald House.

Throughout the years, the YMF has sponsored and prepared several dinners for the Ronald McDonald House families.  The warmth and appreciation expressed by the families has made this community service activity a favorite.  Thank you to all of the YMF members and Junior Girl Scout Troop 548 for taking the time on a Saturday to participate in this rewarding activity.
