Three years ago, I found myself in a room of professionals being told that I was no longer welcome to work with the young people in my program. My sense of connection with them was considered a weakness. bit.ly/2KoRk4Y

Thank you Jesen for coming in on your day off to share a family recipe with the Krew. As for the clown, we don't know what you're talking about. #volunteersrock #bethechange #dogood #redefineit

Today meaningful work for the #kitchenkrew was handmade pasta for turkey canneloni. Slow cooked sweet butter for roasted carrots. Hand whipped eggs for creamy tiramisu. Thank you everyone from @mybowness and @CaryaCalgary for sharing our beautiful Pay-It-Forward community lunch.
