Mark:Thanks a lot for pitching in once again Judy, we really appreciate your help. It seems that at this time of year there are     
    more and more people who are struggling to make ends meet. There aren’t many professional chefs like you who are so generous with   
    their time.                                                                                                                         
4218Judy:Don’t be silly Mark, I’m more than happy to donate my time to a good cause. Volunteering at the soup kitchen has been really   
    rewarding for me. You know, it’s satisfying to provide good meals for those who are less fortunate, I feel like I’m really making   
    a difference in some small way.                                                                                                     
4219Mark:Well, your skills are definitely appreciated here! The people who come here have fallen on hard times and a delicious hot      
    meal can really bolster their spirits. That smells great! The needy are sure lucky to have  you!                                    
4220Judy:Thanks Mark!
