    The St. Bernard benefit dinner held at Dyron’s Low Country in Mountain Brook, AL, provided a wonderful evening for everyone who attended.   The restaurant was filled to its capacity of 100 patrons.  After a welcome and a blessing by Abbot Cletus Meagher, the attendees were treated to a buffet dinner.  The evening, which began with a happy hour at 5:00 pm, concluded for most patrons c. 10:00 pm.   Songs and cake were included in the evening to mark the birthday of the restaurant’s owner, Dyron Powell, a St. Bernard Prep School graduate of the class of ’91.  The proceeds from the benefit dinner went toward the St. Bernard Clarivaux Society’s Planned Giving and Endowment Fund.
