 SATURDAY, MAY 30th
Summer is still a month away, but we just cant wait for that hot, sweet time of year! So what are we going to do? Have a UGK@Home Family-Style Summer Seafood Boil, of course!
|
|
Bring the family together (at a safe, social-distance, of course) over this four-course dinner featuring seasonal locally-sourced seafood and accompaniments, plus a few more surprises (as always).
Our featured chef for this extraordinary meal is Lori Gowin, executive chef at St. Christopher's School in RVA. The Culinary Institute of America trained (and UVA - wahoowa! - grad) has worked in some of America's best kitchens, including Gramercy Tavern, one of NYC's most popular and beloved restaurants, Bar Boulud in Lincoln Square, and former Upper West Side eatery, Eighty One.Here in Virginia, Chef Lori previously shared her culinary talents as managing lead cook at Wegmans and executive chef at Hampden Sydney College. We cannot wait to reveal her creative interpretation of the classic seafood boil, adapted for the stay-safe-at-home times in which we are living. Chef Lori cooks for UGK at St. Mark's on Tuesday, Thursdays, and Fridays. For your home - May 30th, 6:30 - 10:00pm |

 How do you provide reading tutoring from a distance for someone who has no internet and difficulty hearing? The old fashioned way! Suzanne Long has been tutoring with The READ Center since 2002, and continues today, remotely, through the mail and on the phone.  As a tutor, I have been a member of The READ Center community since 2002. In the years just prior to becoming a tutor, I enjoyed the opportunity of traveling abroad on several occasions. While the scenery and the food choices were wonderful, I quickly realized my inability to read highway road signs, restaurant menus, grocery store labels and general directions for waiting in line or entering a building. I felt the loss of my confidence and an increase in vulnerability. Maintaining my independence was quite a challenge! As a result, I decided to take (as a fulltime working adult) some night classes in various languages. I loved the mechanics of learning, but mostly I loved the empowerment that I gained by being able to understand what I was seeing or reading. I grew to appreciate the value of sight words! With my new language skills in tow and as a student myself in 2002, I combed a weekly local entertainment guide seeking the latest information on movies, music, and more. There was a small ad in the guide. It was an ad that I had seen many times, but this time, it moved me to make a phone call. The ad was simple:
IF YOU CAN READ THIS, YOU CAN HELP SOMEONE. I called The READ Center.

Underground Kitchen
 Want to help pack or distribute UGK meals?
UGK's Community First initiative needs volunteers at Roslyn to help package meal bags and make deliveries out into the community. Volunteer shifts are Monday - Friday from 9:00 to Noon. Strict safety protocols are in effect. Masks and gloves are mandatory. The work area is spacious allowing appropriate spacing between volunteers. Deliveries are "non-contact, drop offs" with strict protocols being observed. Please know that you will be making a tremendous difference in the lives of those who are food insecure and need our help.
UGK has partnered with several Episcopal churches in Richmond, and is preparing and delivering thousands of meals each week to food insecure individuals and families in the Richmond area.
Want to know more? Contact Ed Street, edstreetva@gmail.com
