Do you email documents back and forth among colleagues, filling up your
mailbox with replies? Lose track of who has the current version of the
documents? Work with colleagues in distant locations or different time
zones? The Internet to the rescue!

 Welcome to March Membership
Madness!
You might think that March is all about St. Patrick’s Day and green
beer, or about that other March Madness extravaganza focused on NCAA
college basketball… but at SFPFS, it’s all about the Membership
Drive.
We welcome new members all year long, but
,
we have special incentives for current members to recruit new
members.

When our group arrived at Nettie’s Crab Shack on February 26, our
very own Nona Lim greeted us at the door and showed us to three
tables at the back of the “shack.” The restaurant is casual and
projects a “fun” element that you usually find at small restaurants
in beach towns on the East Coast. Nettie (Annette) came by to say
hello and welcome us, followed soon after by a very efficient
waiter, who made recommendations for our only choices of the evening
– the main course and wines to purchase. Along came a bucket of
steamers and drawn butter – so sweet and sooo good – and we were all
set for a carefree evening.

On February 12, 2010, more than 20 SFPFS members toured the 2-1/2
year old home of Newark-based FullBloom Baking Company. The 95,000
square-foot facility, which is in the final process of being LEED
certified, is overseen by CEO and Food Society member Karen
Trilevsky. Vice President of Marketing Frankie Whitman, also a SFPFS
veteran, welcomed us with still warm, freshly-made cranberry scones.

 As professionals with careers
in the creative, challenging food industry, how do we best take
advantage of our Food Society membership? We can show up and
participate at SFPFS events where we learn, connect, and get
inspired and recharge ourselves. We can network with other members.
We can be available as resources to benefit our fellow members. We
can be a community that stays involved and engaged, giving back to
all, and always growing and expanding. “Excelsior!” is the motto,
and it holds the promise of forward motion and great things to come-
get ready to engage in 2010!
