The Burnelle’s launched their meal delivery service for busy families just six months ago, and the business is flourishing, exceeding expectations. - [1] - Their small shop Farm-to-Table, located in Central Grandview Heights, has been forced to increase staff by 120% to keep up with demand. The whole premise of the idea came up after Rachel and Robert Burnelle had their first child. Both working parents had constantly turned to fastfood for their meals and realized that many of their friends did as well. They wanted healthier options which most fast-food fanchises don’t provide. - [2] - The business is so popular that they have been getting orders from outside the city. “The response has been overwhelming," says Rachel. “Our customers especially appreciate the freshness and quality of our meals.” Janet, a customer from the start added, “Not only is the food healthy, it’s not that much more expensive than fast-food meals, but it’s much better for you.” - [3] -
The Burnelles say they are planning to expand their delivery routes and open three Farm-to-Table grocery shops with ready-made meals around the city of Grandview within the next year. - [4] –Attention Shoppers

9:15 Patricia Noble (moderator) Good morning everyone. I've posted some ideas for the upcoming Leadership Workshop in June.
9:16 Patricia Noble (moderator) Please share some of your ideas. We would like some input.
9:20 Jared Davis It looks very standard. Can we add some activities such as camping expeditions or something?
9:21 Lawrence O'Donnell I don't know if I'll be able to attend this time. My group is finishing up a major project. Camping sounds great though.
9:22 Patricia Noble (moderator) Camping is a good idea but it'll take more time to plan. We'll definitely keep this in mind for the next workshop.
9:24 Jimmy Rhee I don't think videos are very effective. How about getting more speakers to present? I'd rather interact with someone.
9:27 Monica Choi I'm looking forward to the camping idea. But for this workshop, I agree with Jimmy. Videos can be quite boring.
9:30 Jared Davis I noticed that John Olive is not presenting this time. What happened? He was very popular. I'd like to attend his workshop.
9:41 Patricia Noble (moderator) John hasn't confirmed with US yet because he may have conflicting schedules. He's trying to work around his schedule.
9:52 Isabella Price I'd like to attend John's workshop as well. I noticed that there are still a couple of empty slots. Would anyone be interested in hearing Ge Xi? I'd love to get a different cultural aspect.
9:58 Jared Davis Great idea! Ge Xi has had a lot of experience as a supervisor in China and she always has some interesting stories.
10:01 Jimmy Rhee I second that. I would certainly like to hear what Ge Xi presents. And speaking of cultural perspectives, Adam has had experience managing employees in a number of countries. He'd be interesting I think.
10:09 Isabella Price Yes, let's get Adam to present in the workshop.
10:15 Adam Cruz Wow, I'm flattered by your vote of confidence. I certainly wouldn't mind participating in the workshop. I'm free in the afternoons.
10:19 Patricia Noble (moderator) Thank you Adam. I'll put you down for the 3:00-4:00 P.M. slot if that's OK with you.
10:30 Adam Cruz That sounds great. And could you send me a guideline if you have one?- To: Samantha Russell [email protected]

===========================Village of Cranton Wins Funding
CRANTON, March 22—The Institute of Rural Service announced today that the village of Cranton is this year’s recipient of the Educational Development Grant. The grant will be used to fund the construction of a large playground that will provide recreational activities for children under 12. Since the opening of the new electronics factory last year, the number of families in the area has risen dramatically. As a result, children have been left with less and less space to play in. The new playground will allow children to play and enjoy themselves when they are not at school.
Cranton is proud to be the recipient of this grant and plans to apply for more grants in the future to improve the living conditions of the town and attract more residents- From: Carrie Cook - [email protected]

You are right to be excited about the food festival that will be held on the October 16th. Unfortunately, this event has become so popular that the city fills up for that weekend. I regret to inform you that there is no vacancy at the Dream Oasis Hotel for the night of the 15th. I went ahead and looked into some of our partner hotels in the area, but those properties also are at full occupancy I do hope you are able to find someplace to stay in the city so you can enjoy the festival while you are in town; I just wish it could have been with us. You could try the Executive Inn in Fairview; it is a large hotel and they do have vacancies.
Sincere apologies,
