February GMM + Souper Bowl Donation Drive
The February GMM will be at Kelleher's (619 Southwest Water Street, Peoria). A social will be held prior to the meeting in the bar area. The meeting will begin promptly at 6:00PM.
The monthly GMM is a great opportunity for JLP to discuss key issues and distribute important information. In doing this, JLP maintains transparency by keeping members informed on the status of the League. This month features speaker Jennifer Zammuto from Heart of Illinois United Way to discuss leadership and communication.
If you are interested in joining the League, this is a great opportunity to attend and better understand our initiatives.

Kids in the Kitchen Recipes Wanted
We have a great start on the KITK projects, but as we look to the future we'd love to build a deeper recipe book to help kick food insecurity to the curb! With just 15 more recipes we could keep a KITK program running for an entire year. Please keep in mind the ages of the kids range from 1st - 12th grade, we encourage healthy habits with our recipes, and utilize ingredients commonly found in kitchens (not limiting but being mindful of ingredient accessibility).
Recipe templates can be completed and returned to Amy Apa. Please share your yummy ideas!
