Note from the Chef...
Roughly after 6 weeks welcomed into the Senior Center I’m continually surrounded by only positivity and accolades. I felt the need to share just how appreciative I am for all the student helpers, volunteers, and support staff. I have benefited from your involvement; keeping up with the web site for wish list items, following the menu, reading the newsletters, and some even with assistance in the kitchen or readying the lunch service. The call for wish list items to stock up Tim’s Kitchen pantry have been wonderful. Most donors never want to be recognized; however, your generosity is beneficial to so many who visit the Senior Center. I have been listening to the suggestions offered and enjoy the feedback on bake sale and meal items. Thank you all for the continued participation in Tim’s Kitchen.
Sincerely,
Chef Erin
