Thank you to the entire team for serving a new record number of diners last night, 315+225. Jay, the chef for the Mesa dining room, will be serving breakfast this morning. He hasn't been able to offer this kind of breakfast in many years.
The green chiles, eggs, cheese, and bacon that were left will be made into delicious egg entrees for many more meals through this holiday season.
Thank you, Blase, for another creative certificate for our team.
Curt Harshman at Shamrock provided the milk and juices, at Maria's request.
Tricia Phelps with BarS, has donated and volunteered for five years.
Dick Pattingale from Holsum donates daily, including this meal.

First Annual Governor's Easter Egg Roll
April 23 and 24, 2011 the Wigwam hosted the 1st Annual Easter Egg Roll, with special guest Governor Jan Brewer. Modeled after the event in Washington, the event also included many activities for old and young alike, and a special judging of decorated eggs by Governor Brewer. Participants in the festivities were enthusiastic about the celebration of all things springtime, and the word heard most frequently was "awesome." Hickman's Family Farms was pleased to have been a part of what will surely become an Arizona family tradition.

Civitan Foundation says thank you...December 2010 Dear Hickman’s Family Farms, Since 1968, Civitan has been dedicated to the idea that people with disabilities deserve to have access to the same physical and social benefits so many of us take for granted in recreational programs. The mission of Civitan Foundation is to provide our communities an accessible, safe, and affordable environment while delivering superior life experiences to enhance the quality of life to individuals with developmental disabilities of all ages… Not only were the eggs served (in many different ways) to over 800 campers, volunteers and providers at Camp Civitan in Williams, AZ this past summer, they were utilized in our cooking classes in Phoenix, Glendale, and Sun City. Our clients thoroughly enjoyed preparing many different egg dishes, their favorite being egg burritos. Your thoughtfulness is appreciated! Sincerely, |
