Don:

First, you and your family are doing a fine work for these people.  All
I can say is, "That's neat!"  Keep it up.

As for the pictures, I like them all.  I realize you were perhaps
working fast when you took them.  I believe I would have either moved in
closer in the one of the two women talking over the salad or tried to
either include the face of the women on the left or crop more of her
out.  As for the broad view, wonder if you could have shot that from the
other side so as to avoid all that light coming in from the windows.

Thanks for posting them.
