> Drivers & Intake Staff Needed
>
> As the IRWS begins to draw to a close (March 13th), the Intake Staff  
> are in need of reinforcements.  As might be expected, these  
> dedicated Staff (many of whom commit to numerous days each week) are  
> starting to tire.  If you are willing and able to provide some  
> assistance at Intake, we would be extremely grateful.  You can sign- 
> up online
> HERE.
>
> Additional Evening Drivers are also needed next week, Feb. 21st -  
> Feb. 27th while the shelter is Our Faith Lutheran Church (1801 Oak  
> Ave).  OFL is a smaller congregation and needs support from other  
> congregations/groups to ensure success of the shelter.  You can sign- 
> up for Evening Driving HERE.
> Beans, Beans, Beans!
> Fresh, home-grown beans are available if you would like to use them  
> for a meal.  We even have a volunteer (Vickie Ito,  
> gxito at sbcglobal.net)  who has offered to cook them for a meal if you  
> like.
>
> Bean options include:
>
> 1.  Speckled heirloom
> 2.  Crimson dark red kidney
> 3.  Canario yellow
> 4.  Jacob's Cattle heirloom
> 5.  Holstein heirloom
>
> Recipes are available upon request from Bill Habicht,  
> bill at dccpres.org.  If you would like to use the beans, but aren't  
> sure how to prepare or cook them, please drop a line to our local  
> bean expert Steve Temple, srtemple at ucdavis.edu.
> Have Feedback or Suggestions?
> Once the shelter closes and the IRWS Core Team is able to rest a  
> bit, they will begin the process of planning for next season.  We  
> made many improvements this year, but know further improvements are  
> certainly warranted.
>
> The Core Team would like invite your feedback and/or suggestions for  
> topics to discuss during the off season.  You are the ones on the  
> ground and know what worked well and what didn't.  Therefore, we  
> created a Google Document for you to post suggested topics for  
> discussion.  Your input is greatly desired, and will enable us to  
> make next season even better!
>

> If you would like to participate in the discussions and planning  
> process for next season, please send an email to Bill Habicht, bill at dccpres.org
