You know, if you want to diss Camp Harmony, why don't you have the courage to give your name?
It's true that the kitchen was staffed by volunteers - most of us like it that way, and it helps keep costs down. DADGBE and Debby McClatchy hire a number of people who have had lots of institutional kitchen experience, and I think we do a pretty good job of directing the volunteers and ensuring proper sanitation.
The same kind of flu broke out all over Calfornia during the time of last year's Camp Harmony - so don't blame it all on the San Francisco Folk Music club. It would have been nice if we could have sent the sick people home - but the roads were closed because of the storm.
But nonetheless, it sure was a hell of a job to keep that kitchen going with only limited power. I don't think I want to go through THAT again.
