Way Down Yonder on the Chatahoochie

This past week we got an opportunity to go to the regional hospital in Athens and tour their foodservice facility. It was neat to see some of the same equipment and to inquire about the patients diets and how they cater to each patient's needs. Every patient is on the theraputic diet. The Manager we talked to was very nice and gave us some sound advice on Foodservice Management. We also spent some time planning the Banquet that is in July that we will be in charge of. It was fun to come up with a theme and the menu items. We have decided on a Mexican theme and we are excited to finalize some decor decisions this week. The weekend was fun! Athfest was interesting. There were a lot of eccentric bands and cute tents that were set up to sell things from wood carvings to hammocks and clothes. Its a very artsy place, downtown Athens. Today we went tubing down the Chatahoochie River. I think that was the biggest experience of the weekend. Only because it rained, thundered, lightened, oh and lets not forget HAILED! but dont worry, Marcia and I trekked on. So I cant wait until next week when I can write about my experience as a worker on a local organic farm. Stay tuned!
