Volunteer Happenings Volunteer Spotlight: Munson Center Quilters by Ryan Steinmetz Did you know that the Munson Center has its own quilting group? 12 Network Volunteers make up the Munson Center Quilters who come together every Tuesday and Thursday to make quilts for the community. Last year alone, the quilters sent out over 280 quilts to the community. The quilts, which are nearly all made from donated materials, are distributed to places like La Casa, Mesilla Valley Hospice, Gospel Rescue Mission, and Jardin de los Niños with the goal of helping people feel comfort and warmth, especially during times of difficulty and distress. The ladies of the quilting group talk much about finding comfort and warmth in each other’s company as they gather every Tuesday and Thursday. Lynne Anderson of the quilting group noted, “We had just moved here, and I got connected to these lovely ladies who have become my dear friends.” Joyce Harp talked about the loyalty of the group. “There’s lots of laughs. When you spend so much time with each other, your connection is quilted into the fabric of the relationship.” “This group feeds our quilting addiction,” says Carmen Johnson, “and we’ve become best friends.” Long-time quilter Renate Flores commented that in 1994 she attended a china painting class originally after she retired. It wasn’t for her. “Soon after, I was introduced to the quilters by another senior and have been here ever since!” Margaret Hubbard also started with other interests. “I took a stained glass class here at Munson and had to walk by the quilting room door. I got closer and closer and eventually got hooked!” In fact, when I came to interview the ladies, I was offered a quilting needle! They let me know that gentlemen are welcome to quilt too, even though they may be subject to a little grief here and there. “We welcome all new members and donations of quilting materials, and you don’t have to have any experience in quilting.” The Network Volunteer Center’s eldest volunteer, Maria Ickler (who turned 98 in July), is a regular. “I moved here from Tucson and wanted to find friends. I found these quilters on the second try—my first quilting group was a failure! I love quilting with these ladies.” Renate Flores said of Ickler, “She’s teaching us! She’s our inspiration. She paints too and has had some of her quilts shown at city hall.” The quilters make smaller “tied quilts” to be donated, and they work on larger quilts as well. They also work on special project quilts such as quilts for breast cancer survivors. They repair each other’s old quilts and work on cross-group quilting projects with other quilters. They love to hear from those who have received a quilt or see a quilt of theirs in use. “When you quilt for others, you give your whole heart,” says Joyce Harp, “no strings attached.” The quilters meet at the Munson Center every Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Come on by! They’ll make sure to give you a needle! Above: Network Volunteer Renate Flores working on a quilt in progress! Far left: Quilters from L to R, Margaret Hubbard, Nivedita Pai, Renate Flores, Joyce Harp, Maria Ickler, Carmen Johnson, and Lynne Anderson standing in front of their New Mexico quilt and showing one of their donation quilts.

Servimos a más de 400 personas de la tercera edad que no pueden salir de casa. El creciente número de clientes hace imposible que nos quedemos dentro del límite de 2 horas para hacer entregas.

Many of our cooks are hearing things like, “give me a little more of this, and a bit more of that”, or, “you just gave him more than me, I want more too.” All of our Food Service Workers are instructed to use portion control tools on the serving line. In addition, standardized recipes are utilized to produce a consistent, high-quality product in the amount shown on the recipe. The tools on the serving line can predict the exact number of servings a recipe yields. This helps reduce leftovers and minimize variance. The bottom line is that we cannot give our guests more food on the serving line just because they are requesting it. At the end of the serving period, the Senior Cook may allow second portions to be served to our guests if that meal cannot be made into a weekend frozen meal for our homebound clients. The decision to offer seconds is at the discretion of the Senior Cook. If you should have any questions regarding this procedure, feel free to give me a call at 528-3013. Thank you. Roger Bishop An important message to our Meals-on-Wheels Clients To cancel or resume your meal call Teresa Carrillo at 541-2301 by 9 AM. If you call 541-2451, 528-3012 or a Case Manager, Senior Nutrition may not get your message before your meal is prepared for you. The best person to call is Terry. When she is not in the office, her phone line automatically rings to her backup. If you should have any questions about this please call Ms. Terry at 541-2301. Una nota especial para nuestros consumidores, A muchos de nuestros cocineros les gusta escuchar, “dame un poquito más de esto, y un poquito más de aquello,” o “a él le diste más que a mí. Yo también quiero más.” Todos nuestros trabajadores de servicio de comida y alimentos están advertidos a practicar el control de porciones mientras sirven. Además, las recetas están estandarizadas para producir un producto de alta calidad en la cantidad que enseña la receta. Estas herramientas en la línea de servicio pueden predecir el número exacto de porciones que produce una receta. Esto ayuda a minimizar diferencias y que se queden sobras. Esencialmente, no podemos servirles a nuestros consumidores más comida en la línea de servicio simplemente porque nos lo pidan. Al final del periodo de servir, el cocinero principal decidirá si se puede servir una segunda vez si la comida no se puede congelar para los clientes que no pueden salir de casa.
