The Culinary Unit is located on the west end of the second floor of Grand Avenue Club.  We prepare a delicious meal for all 365 days of the year.  Lunch is served at 12:30 during the weekdays for the cost of only $2.00, and it always includes a great salad bar. The Culinary Unit also provides colleagues who can’t afford the cost of lunch with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.  We also provide breakfast Mondays through Fridays, and dinners for our Monday afternoon work meetings and our Wednesday recreation evenings.  Special events and holiday celebrations are also catered through our hard-working Culinary Unit.  Birthdays are a special time at the clubhouse, and this unit prepares your favorite dessert and leads the singing at lunch on your special day! 

We do the majority of our shopping at Second Harvest, which is a food bank where we are fortunate enough to purchase our food at only 18 cents a pound!  We plan our menus weekly are always happy to have colleagues be our “guest chefs” and/or bring in their favorite recipes for the clubhouse to enjoy.  We also serve snacks and coffee throughout the day. 

The Culinary Unit publishes a monthly newsletter containing health, nutrition, and wellness information; as well as colleague recipes, crossword puzzles, and Culinary Unit colleague profiles.  We are also responsible for ordering paper goods and cleaning supplies for the entire clubhouse.  Together we work as colleagues, members and staff together, to accomplish these tasks.
