Rotary Club of Green Valley June 2019 Meeting Schedule



		Featured Speaker: Abby Rosen, Caridad Community Kitchen Abby Rosen started with Caridad Community Kitchen 6 years ago as the sous chef for their culinary training program and is now their Program Manager, overseeing all programs and operations of the kitchen. She has over 13 years of professional baking experience and a BS in Hotel and Restaurant Management. She told us the Food Bank’s mission is to feed the hungry today and build a healthy, hunger-free tomorrow. Caridad Kitchen (“caridad” means charity) supports the Food Bank with community meals, culinary training, and contract meals. Started in 1996 by Holy Family Church, Caridad was acquired by Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona in 2011, and they expanded from 5000 ft² to 10,000 ft² in 2017 and became a meal partner for Pima County Meals on Wheels. Caridad has 15 staff, 90 volunteers who assemble, package, and distribute meals, 2 to 3 dozen students, and 14 community partners. They serve 9500 free meals each month, 7 days a week, at 10 sites. They operate with both donated and purchased food. The culinary training program includes 400 hours of culinary and job and life skills instruction. Students get a week of paid internship as part of that. Rosen said that health inspector train at their sites because their standards are higher than ordinary restaurants. They are aiming at improving client choices at their meal sites, improving training program evaluation, and helping with staff work life balance.

RI Rep Chris Ashcraft presented Bill McCreery with his Paul
Harris +1 pin, and Secretary Michael Pease with Paul Harris +2.
As “price” Chris asked each of them to say something about why
they are in Rotary. Bill mentioned the things Rotary does around
the world, particularly nearly eliminating polio. Michael just said
he gets teary-eyed trying to talk about it.


	Loss of a Friend We are saddened by the passing of Dr. Wilfred (Bill) Miller. He was a sojourner from Whitefish, Montana for many years, and he joined our Club in 2017. He passed suddenly this last week from complications of an infection. He was one of the most consistently cheerful people we knew.

Rotarians Scott Lamb and Charlie Reppenhagen
placing the Rotary Club Memorial Day wreath at
Memorial Park. We remember and honor our
fellow Americans who died defending our
country.

The club will continue our annual placing of Flags along La Cañada on
July 4th. Jerry Kriebel is coordinating the event this year. Members
can sign up at the weekly meeting.

Ken Frahm, who has been a sojourner here for several
years, has joined our Club. Ken was a Kansas farmer for
much of his life, has an MBA from U Texas, and has
been a Rotarian since 1975. His wife, Sheila, was a
State School Superintendent and US Senator.
