High five to our friends for filling our bins to the brim! We are both hydrating and readying our souls for tomorrow's challenge. We will be running and biking starting at 5am from Menard Park to 61st and back five times. We owe you a debt of 25 miles and the Tor Store always pays its debts! If you see us on the seawall, give us a honk or shout to keep our spirits up. Let's go, Galveston!

3/24/23 Update:

This has nothing to do with our food and beverage; this post falls into the 'Taking Care of Our Community' bucket.

A couple of months ago, while at Ball High School speaking with students, another teacher pulled me aside and asked if I would attend a meeting he was conducting.

Darren Muren runs the Life Skills Program at Ball High. These students have been identified as needing an alternate or modified curriculum from the general population. The life skills program has a School Store and work-based learning classes to work on vocational and job skills. The students in the work-based learning program are from 11th grade to their 22nd birthday. These students are seen as having the potential to be employable but may need a couple of years to work on their vocational skills.

Essentially what these Life Skills students need is simple, they need an opportunity. And an opportunity is the value we could add.

We offered to employ all of the students. Their physical and mental abilities vary however, when given the opportunity, everyone adds value.

These students work at The Spot every Tuesday from 1pm - 2:30pm. You'll be able to 'spot' them by their red shirts.

Darren is doing God's work, and we are humbled to partner with him and make a meaningful impact on our community.

My best.
