MO2W update


The Meals on 2 Wheels group is working well. We delivered 16 meals on 2/8 and only 14 on 2/15, sadly two of our clients were in hospital. We hope they will be back this week.



Two points of interest:
  1. Bill Otersen has designed us a logo!
  2. We will meet at Brueggers West this week and until further notice, just for a meet-up location closer to ECS.

Meals on 2 Wheels Debut SUCCESS!

This morning four of us made the first Meals on 2 Wheels delivery by bicycle.

Al Farrar, Mike Redig, Marv Rubenstein and I met at Black Dog Cafe this morning at 9:00am. I was worried about the weather - really did not want the first try to be a mess - but we were fortunate.

There is not whole lot to say, really, except to review what we did, because everything went well and according to plan. This will probably be typical:

Meet at Black Dog 9:00am. Get new attendees signed up and oriented. Chit chat. Depart about 9:30, taking 7th Ave to Old Bainbridge to Alabama to Colorado, and from there pick up the advertised route to ECS: Continental, San Luis Park, San Luis Drive, Solano, White, Tennessee. We had a nice visit at ECS - the hot meals were a few minutes late getting out, so we took some time to see the facilities and all the hard working people making it happen. Loaded up about 10:20, reversed the route into Frenchtown, delivered 13 meals, and went separate ways since it looked like the predicted rain was about to come true.

My very hearty thank you to Marv, Mike & Al for participating. We're on again for next week, same time, same place. Bring a bike!
