YOU'RE ON AN ISLAND WITH ONLY ONE FOOD...
WHAT WOULD IT BE?
A coconut! I would try to plant it so that I can grow more and use it as a resource for my hydration, or as a hat for sun protection and such. CHOCOLATE OR VANILLA ICE CREAM?
Lavender ice cream! Yes, it exists!
FEATURED EVENT! FabScrap
"Fabscrap collects unused fabric from various businesses and recycles them. Students, teachers, artists, crafters, and designers can also reuse some of the collected fabric for their own projects. We were given a tour of FabScrap before we sorted through many types of fabrics. We also rolled large fabrics, some more than 100 yards long! We were even able to take some of the fabric home with us. I definitely look forward the next one!" Written By : Karen Li To Learn More Visit: https://fabscrap.org/
HONORARY MEMBER
NAME:
Preeti Presannan
I first met Preeti at a Young Woman's Empowerment Conference where Circle K members volunteered their time to help make the organization of the event a success. I distinctly remember Preeti's engagement and welcoming attitude as we oversaw each workshop room and later served food to the inner city girls who attended the event. Preeti pushed away all of my shy boundaries and made me feel genuinely comfortable. Even after the event, we continued to text and she invited me to a Country music concert! Although I was unable to attend (NOT because I have anything against Country music) we still keep in contact and plan to eventually eat at Seasoned Vegan! I really do appreciate her uplifting and inclusive spirit and am happy to see that she is receiving this special recognition. Nominated By: Viktoriya Borisova
