Wayne Farms marks 9-11 by feeding traveling troops
Big belts and big bags to
be fashionable this fall
FEEDS THE TROPPS
Employees from Wayne Farms LLC visited the USO at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson
International Airport on 9-11 to feed traveling troops.
ON FRIDAY, September
11 employees from Wayne
Farms LLC spent the day feed
ing traveling members of the
United States military inside
the Jean R. Amos USO Center
at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson
International Airport. The
event was the latest install
ment in an ongoing relation
ship between the company, the
United Service Organizations
(USO) and Operation Chefs
Unite.
Wayne Farms' began its part
nership with the USO in 2007
when Wayne Farms Executive
Research Chef Caroline Morris,
a member of the Georgia chap
ter of the American Culinary
Federation (ACF), learned
about an ACF program called
“Operation Chefs Unite.'' The
program pairs local chefs with
the USO to cook for travel
ing troops. Since 2007, Wayne
Farms has fed troops on 7 dif
ferent occasions.
“Wayne Farms employees
seem to have an exceptional
sense of patriotic duty evi
denced by the fact that we
never have to look too far to
find volunteers to help,” said
Caroline Morris, Executive
Research Chef and Project
Leader for Wayne Farms LLC.
“This has become one of our
favorite causes. We are always
ready and willing to step up and
express our sincere gratitude
and appreciation for the con
tinued efforts of our American
troops.”
Troops present at the USO
were very appreciative of the
hot food, good conversation
and the care showed by all vol
unteers on this important day.
The buffet prepared for the sol
diers by Wayne Farms included
chicken wings, grilled chicken
breasts, com, squash casserole,
green beans and chocolate pud
ding and apple pie for dessert.
This marks the third occa
sion in 2009 Wayne Farms
was able to join forces with
the USO and Operation Chefs
Unite to show appreciation to
the troops. Groups of volun
teers from the company also
fed soldiers on Valentine's Day
and Independence Day.
BIG BELTS, big bags
and the color brown will
be big news on the fashion
front this fall, according to
a fashion show held Sept. 14
in Jefferson.
Animal and abstract
prints. Dolman sleeves,
reversible jackets, glitter on
both daytime and evening
wear, jackets with collars
and man-made fabrics that
look like wool or leather
also were featured at the
Jefferson Woman's Club
Show.
Many of the models wore
hats with their stylish outfits,
some of the hats being huge
and others being small and
clinging tightly to the head.
Shawls or “scarf wraps”
were featured with many of
the garments. The “pack-
ability” and “washability”
of many of the garments
was stressed by the narrator,
Jean Bauerband. She mod
eled a slim black skirt with
a red leather jacket and a
multicolored blouse.
Brown was a popular color
in the show, but black and
gray continue to be favor
ites. Flared skirts seem to
be “in,” most falling well
below the knee. Although
huge bags were carried by
many models, unique tiny
bags were used with the
more formal wear.
The show was presented
by Mary's Fashion Corner,
Commerce, with the follow
ing models: Sherry Tiller,
Angela Tjepkema, Wanda
Crawley, Dobora Marsden
and Veta Hardeman.
Connie Taylor, the new
club president, presided at
the club's business meeting
which followed the fash
ion show. It was announced
that Jane Segars wishes
to go on leave of absence
for health reasons and that
Edna Briggs has resigned.
The meeting was held at
First Georgia Bank but
subsequent Woman’s Club
meetings will be held at
Mabeth’s, it was stated.
