Taste of Durango

Yesterday was the annual Taste of Durango event in town. Three blocks are taken over by local restaurants in booths selling food, beer, etc.--the proceeds of which go to benefit Manna Soup Kitchen. Our very own Ruthie, who is the program director at MSK, organized the entire event including recruiting the 200 volunteers it took to set up, work, and clean up the TOD. Almost everyone from CTK was involved at some level with the prep or running of the day. I was most proud of the inroads and relationships Ruthie was able to establish through this. It will be interesting to see how we are able to better integrate with our community in the future because of the connections and impressions she made through the Taste of Durango. Another highlight for me was working security at the event and all the amazing free food that comes with the role of Security Roamer!
