This weeks meeting topic

Hello there! Be sure to come into a meeting this week 9/4 - 9/10 while we talk about how to get Re-Started! Feel free to leave your comments and suggestions here!

Fall

What is one thing you are looking forward to doing this fall?

Supermarket tip.

Tip: Making a pre-storm supermarket run? Buy fruits and veggies that you can eat out of hand. During a power outtage, raw chicken breasts or whole wheat pizza dough will not help you. But cooked chicken cutlets make an excellent meal when served with crispy raw salad greens. Got a dozen raw eggs in the fridge? Quick, hard-boil them now and you won't go hungry when the lights go out. For more tips, read our Food Prep for Hurricanes post: http://bit.ly/pN9gvk
