Rotarians Chad Zimmerman, Dan Gray, Pam Dunn, Vito Canuso, Marc Hurd, Jay Applebaum, and, not pictured, Joe Ferrentino, stand masked and ready to deliver meals to residents isolating because of COVID. Don and Pat Schroeder were the first recipients of the meals delivered by Villa Park Rotarian Marc Hurd. Villa Park residents receive meals The first meals have been de- livered to individuals who are sheltering in place, after the Villa Park City Council approved the use of funding from the county for meals for city seniors and oth- er vulnerable residents. The Rotary Club of Villa Park has taken the lead on this pro- gram, and is working with Villa Park Community Services Foun- dation to deliver meals to Villa Park seniors and other vulnerable residents that need to be extreme- ly careful of social interaction. If you know of a Villa Park resi- dent who would need this service, please contact the Rotary Club of Villa Park by email info@rcvp. org or call (714) 289-0047.

Josh Cohen, a resident of North Tustin and a Foothill High School senior, designed a cookbook to cope with the constraints of irritable bowel disease. His “Comfort Food For An Uncomfortable Stomach, By a Kid for Kids” came about several years after he was diagnosed with a form of that disease. The book, he says, is designed to empower youth and their families to find ways to enjoy food within the limita- tions of these diseases. The book outlines helpful hints and products he enjoys, as well as breakfast, entree, sides and snack recipes that have worked for him. All funds from the sale of the book will go to the Orange County chap- ter of the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation. The book is available on Amazon.
