Dear Friends,

Our transition from summer to fall means that our Food Matters program for young children is gearing up to teach 35 classes to over 1100 children each week!  We're also making plans to offer cooking demonstrations for our corporate and institutional partners as well as working through the planning stages to teach lower income adults basic cooking skills starting in January of 2012.  Never a dull moment!

In order to allow Laura Robertson-Boyd, our Executive Chef, to succeed and occasionally get some sleep, Local Matters is now hiring a part-time Sous Chef/Prep Cook to work approximately 20-25 hours per week to begin immediately. This is a Monday-Friday position from approximately 9am-2pm daily. Professional kitchen experience is preferred as the person hired for this position will be in charge of executing all prep duties and lead volunteers through kitchen tasks while Laura is out in the community.

This is the perfect position for someone who wants to be part of the team that is teaching our children where their food comes from, how to grow it and how to cook it!

All interested persons should send their resume to directly to me at mjones@local-matters.org.

We hope you'll join us!

Be well.

Michael Jones
Executive Director
