Presentation
Lunch at Bullwinkles Eatery
Francis introduced our own Rotary Member, Vanessa Giuliano, who after preparing a delightful lunch buffet with the staff of Bullwinkles, discussed how Bullwinkles Eatery came about in cooperation with The Salvation Army, Operation Sharing, and the Moose Lodge and the "mandate" behind the operation.
Vennessa runs a culinary school for 6-8 students who receive food preparation training and cook for the restaurant. The skills learned will allow them to seek other opportunities in the community.
The restaurant side is a pay what you can restaurant, and Bullwinkles is a progressive place breaking away from the ordinary soup kitchen idea. Currently it is operating Tuesday and Thursday and caters to a wide demographics of the community.
