The REET Institute

Rotary Whyte Ave's very own Michelle & Enyinnah Okere will join us to talk about a new non-profit that they have started called the REET Institute. The REET Institute is a social impact platform that provides training in financial literacy, through commercial real estate. The REET Institute will partner with corporations, schools and non-profits to deliver training using a blend of e-learning, live courses, and hands-on experience. REET leverages a practical learning approach where students work with industry professionals and executives to evaluate live deals. These deals are located within their respective communities and students are then required to present them in a pitch competition to industry leaders. Scholars emerge from the program with the skills, confidence, experiences and networks that prepare them to secure a strong first job and to become stakeholders in their community. |

Melcor Make Ahead Meals: Take 6!
Oct. 26, 2021
|
|
Oct. 26, 2021 4:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
Hello everyone! There is an ever-pressing need to support our community partners in light of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Our five previous make-ahead meal events were so well received, we are organizing another one! Again, we are going to make individual meals for the thirteen folks supported by the Skills Society who are living at Melcor YMCA Village. Our contact at Skills Society and the folks we have provided meals for have expressed great appreciation for all of our previous care packages we have delivered! I am asking members/friends of our club to make 13 individually-portioned meals to be ready for pick-up (or we may have a centralized drop-off location) on the evening of Tuesday, October 26th. Please have your meals packaged in new, microwave-safe, individual containers. Please label your containers with the name of the meal and the date made. Of note: you do not need to list out the ingredients in the meals/baked goods. We will have someone deliver the pre-packaged meals and baked goods to Melcor (you can pass your meals along either having been refrigerated or frozen). The health of our members and the folks we support is of utmost importance. Please do not sign up or make meals if you (or a loved one in your home) are feeling under the weather (whether you have been tested for COVID-19 or not). If you sign up to cook a meal, and become symptomatic of any illness, please be in contact with me and we can find you a replacement. Please make sure to follow hand hygiene practices when shopping, prepping and packing your meals - let's all do our part to minimize the risk of spread of disease. Of the 13 people whom we are meal prepping for, 2 of the individuals are living with diabetes. Please be concise of making your meal 'heart healthy' with reduced sugar content. If you need help meal planning, please don't hesitate to reach out! There are no other allergies or food intolerances to be aware of for meal preparation. If you want to support this initiative but are unable to cook or bake meals, please reach out to me and we can figure out where your efforts are best suited. I will be in touch with each of the volunteers to arrange pick-up times on the evening of October 26th. Thank you! |
