HELP PROVIDE MEALS FOR RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE FAMILIES! This is a new-in-2023 event for Kiwanis of Redmond. January, February and March serving teams are set. Contact Lauren Olander for future months.

As a club, we are committed to serving dinner the fourth Monday of every month. Dave Schluckebier is taking the lead for April and Anne Graham for May. Reach out to Dave, meterdave@hotmail.com, or Anne, tallannie@aol.com, if you are available and to find out if there is space available on their teams. Contact Lauren Olander, lauren.olander@rmhcoregon.org, for more information and future months. She and her staff help you through the process -- all you have to do is sign-up!

"Our meal groups are typically scheduled from 4-7pm., serving dinner between 5:30 and 6 pm. You are welcome to use all or part of that time. We can have 3-5 people per group in our kitchen at a time. Volunteers pick a meal that they would like to prepare and bring the ingredients with them. One member of the group will want to call 1-2 days prior to the scheduled cook date to check occupancy so they know how many people to prepare their meal for. At the time they call, we are happy to check if we have any ingredients that are needed for the meal (we typically have some meat in the freezer, pantry staples, milk, eggs, canned broths, spices, etc…)"

Please reach out to Lauren Olander, lauren.olander@rmhcoregon.org, and let her know what night you can sign up to cook and serve a meal. Our club has agreed to cook a meal the FOURTH MONDAY of every month in 2023 and we can’t do this without YOU!

We will collect cash donations to put toward creating auction item baskets -- contact Barb Lutz barb.lutz80@gmail.com or give money to John Duff, indicating it is for Vintner Dinner auction items. New this year is a service opportunity to join Key Clubbers assisting in the kitchen and to the wait staff to help defray costs.

NEW AND REVISED PROCESS FOR LUNCH for the Wednesday meetings! We have simplified the process with a Soup/Salad/Sandwich bar. See the attached menu. Revised = an email will be sent by John Duff asking if 1) you will attend and 2) if you would like a sandwich. Juniper will replenish the salad and soup bar so it is not as critical that we have a solid count for that, just the sandwiches (although we do want a good estimate on how many are attending the meeting to make sure we have table, table service and water set-up). It is okay to come to the meeting even if you did not indicate in advance that you will attend - just no sandwich for you.

Soup = soup of the day ($6)

Deli Sandwich = ham or turkey with cheddar or Swiss on French Bread ($5)

Salad Bar = mixed greens, cucumber, tomato,onion, egg, bacon, lunch meats, shredded cheese, ranch and balsamic dressing ($12)

Soup or Sandwich and Salad Bar ($14)

DEADLINE FOR ORDERING LUNCH for the Wednesday meeting, Tuesday. March 7th, at 4 p.m.
