Staff of the Week & Charlene Myers

As I've said before, the dining hall staff this year is one of the best ever. Carl was this year's first recipient of the CIT of the week award. Kyle received the youth staff of the week last week. Both were well deserved.

Let me continue the staff introductions with Charlene Myers. This is Charlene's 4th year on staff. She previously was one of the afternoon cooks but this year switched to mornings, arriving at 6:00 AM. You'll never find Charlene standing still. She is always doing something, whether that's panning food, watching the ovens, sweeping floors, getting food from storage, or other task. Charlene cooks at the new grade school in Fremont during the academic year, and has cooked in the Fremont school system for 35 years. Through this extensive experience she has been able to teach us new tricks. Charlene bakes scrumptious goodies as a hobby and side business. Most days she brings us a plate of the edge pieces for the kitchen staff to share. We don't go hungry around here. Charlene once showed us a picture of herself and President Clinton. She was working for a caterer in Omaha, and he was making a campaign stop at a function that was catered by her employer.
