Catering for Autism

We had the privilege once again this year to provide breakfast and lunch for the Southern Utah Autism Conference.  This year there was more than double the attendance of last year and the most that we have seen in the three years we have done this.  We somehow managed to have the food dialed in just right as well.  I don't think there were a lot of left overs.   That is great.  The entire process pretty much kicked my backside.  There was the breakfast set up this morning that had us at the shop at 7 AM to load up and then over to Canyon View High School to unload and set up.  We managed to get everything up and going in plenty of time and then headed back to the shop to start on the sandwich making.  There were 200 on order.  That is a lot of box lunches.  We managed to get it ready right on time and got it over to the conference without a minute to spare.  It went over quite well though and I got a lot of compliments on the food.  I got to sit and visit with Bob Wasden for a while.  He is a good man and is retiring in a few weeks.  He was given an award today and also will be given an award this week for teacher of the year in Autism.  Anyhow, we enjoyed our visit and he was so complimentary about the catering and the quality of the food.  That is good.  We like to hear that.  Well, once that was done I headed back to the shop and worked on a few things.  I am completely beat tonight but that is okay because we were catering for Autism.
