This service project -- supported by a Rotary District Grant -- to involve Brookline students at the Teen Center to learn healthy cooking and enjoy a meal together is now well-underway. In partnership with BU Occupational Therapy doctoral students & Nutritional graduate students, the grant involves a weekly cooking class through June 7, 2024 on Friday afternoons from 3 to 5 pm. Volunteers work with Teen Center middle schoolers and high schoolers to cook a vegetarian, low-cost, healthy entree and dessert. BU professor and Rotarian Karen Jacobs will work with Teen Center members to create the menu, and BU OT doctoral students will lead the classes. 2 volunteers are needed each week: one to do the grocery shopping and deliver the items to the Teen Center on Thursday/Friday, and at least one more volunteer to help set-up, assist in cooking, and then clean-up. To volunteer, click the BTC District Grant button on this webpage. Questions can be directed to Susan Rack, Service Project Chair. Teen Center participants will be given copies of the recipes to cook at home with their families. They will also create a cookbook of their favorites recipes with their personal comments.

No meeting in honor of the upcoming Memorial Day Weekend.
The red poppy is the symbol of remembrance of all those who have died or suffered in wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations. Why the red poppy? In the aftermath of WWI, red poppies spontaneously grew and covered many fields across France and Belgium. Scientists attribute this surprising phenomena to the soils being enriched with lime from the rubble left by the war.
The sight of beautiful red poppies growing from the dirt and mud where so much blood had been shed moved Canadian doctor and Lieutenant-Colonel John McGraw to write the wartime poem “In Flanders Fields”.
This Memorial Day may we also remember the peace they fought for. .
