THE MID-COUNTY MEMO
The crowd of more than 300 people at last month’s Customer Appreciation Party at the Refectory Rest-aurant, 1618 N.E. 122nd Ave., ranged from dinner clientele in their 80s to the 20-somethings who frequent the nightclub.
Owners Mitch and Cecile (CeeCee to everyone who knows her) Stanley began this invitation-only event some 20 years ago to celebrate the holidays with the people who make their restaurant a success and as a way to extend the spirit of giving to our less fortunate community members. Guests are asked to bring non-perishable food items. A typical year nets nearly 1000 pounds of canned meats, foods, vegetables, soups and pasta for the Oregon Food Bank. The Refectory Restaurant — a Mid-county landmark — is 14,000 square feet. It features a 168-seat dining room, three full bars and a 350-seat banquet room.
