GREAT JOB ,JUDY BUCKO FOR ORGANIZING OUR DICTIONARY DISTRIBUTION PROJECT
The Norristown Rotary and the Rotary Club of Collegeville met last week to move forward on our 'Take One Share One' book library project. According to the team ",the structure will be mounted to a post which will be “planted” in the ground. It was suggested at our meeting, that we try to get the property management company to handle the post installation, etc. Our friends from the Kiwanis Club are reaching out to Westover Companies, Inc. (property manager for the Audubon Shopping Center) to arrange for this work."
We are preparing a certificate from proof of liability insurance.
Last Thursday we had a visit from KARI FISHER and NICK HEISHMAN ,two leaders of Manna on Main Street who talked about the program Common Grounds. This is a training program for those interested in working in the food services field as cooks.The program, started 2 years ago, aims to instill both increased culinary skills and life skills that can lead to a more productive future life for participants. COMMON GROUNDS offers a welcoming environment for the trainees that is centered around a new, modern kitchen facility that concentrates on preparing its students for work in large, industrial environments such as hospitals and catering organizations. They run a cafe and catering service at Manna on Main Street which provide major portion of their funding. They accept trainees from age 18 to 80.
For more information , or to hire the catering group, you can contact COMMON GROUNDS, by email them at ProgramAssistant@mannaonmain.org. or call 215- 855-5454 x17.
