| JLC members Melissa MacRae and Julianne Lorehn at the MUM Program |
Our February 21 MUM session was very well-received by Highbanks residents. We were delighted to welcome our two new JLC MUM participants, Julianne Lorehn and Melissa McRae, who helped in planning and preparing for the February session. The evening’s theme was Time Saving Meals: How to Make "Planned Extras" versus Leftovers. The recipes demonstrated were Make-Ahead Meatballs (Three Ways) and Lemony Caesar Salad, and Melissa graciously donated her time to pre-make the Oreo Ice-Cream Dessert.
We have five permanent residents (Kaitlyn, Lauren, Jasie, Rain and Alejandra) participating in our monthly MUM sessions. Vaniety, an alumna, and her niece Shanee, who is 13 years old, will also be regular attendees. It is really nice to see a young person so engaged in preparing healthy meals and learning about Healthy and Active Living. The three other magnificent JLC volunteers were Cyndi Cox, Tammy Figol and Marie Starich. With space-saving in mind, the gift for this session was a collapsible salad spinner. Extra meatballs were also made so that the moms could bring home the "Planned Extras".
