Joy, the Wendy's manager, said she has come to our Neighborhood Kitchens meals, and two other employees at Wendy's chimed in and told Robin how good the food was and how much they enjoyed it, and one employee even mentioned Clarence Davis and how he had helped with a ride.
"It was exciting to feel that immediate sense of connection with the community meal," Robin said.
These are the amazing connections and fun we're having in the community. Thanks, Robin! And speaking of Wednesday meals, this is (from left) Mark Rushmore and Martin Ramos. They are friends working together at our Wednesday night meal, called Neighborhood Kitchens. Each Wednesday 200 are served and most are guests from our community.
Mark is a Garnett partner who helps set up tables, chairs, takes nasty dripping trash to the dumpster, and smiles as he's doing here! Mark is one of the kindest, most Christ-like guys you'll meet, but he's not the type to just slap people on the back and introduce himself to strangers. Yet he's serving Wednesdays . . . and so can you. If you are the type who likes to meet new people, come and enjoy plenty of people to meet and serve (and the cool thing is we also learn and are served by our guests!).
Martin Ramos works with East Tulsa Prevention Coalition (ETPC) in gang prevention. He gets kids in East Central High School and our neighborhood enrolled in "Martin's gang." Martin is bilingual, speaking great Panama Spanish and mixes it up with the many Spanish speakers who come to our Wednesday meal. We're so glad to have Martin with us each week and so glad to have him as a friend.
Come tonight!
