Ramona's Boys and Girls Club Celebrates 'Our Town' Week

The Ramona Branch of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego celebrated "Our Town” week during August 24-30.

Club members worked Monday through Thursday to build themed restaurants, having a chance to display the finished products, as well as to shop and eat on Friday.

This year’s restaurants were the Pasta Palace, Fat Panda 2, and Lil’ Niño’s. Members created their own store front banners, menus, and restaurant décor.

Mock job interviews were also a part of the week, placing members in the best positions within their restaurants. Jobs included, kitchen staff, waiters/waitresses, hosts/hostesses, cashiers, and clean-up crew. Menu items included spaghetti and meatballs, pizza, chicken alfredo, garlic bread, salad, cake, ice cream and beverages at the Pasta Palace; rice, chow mein, orange chicken, teriyaki chicken, beef with broccoli and egg rolls at the Fat Panda 2; and burritos, beans, rice, chips and salsa, taquitos, Mexican soda and cookies at Los Niño’s.

At the end of the friendly competition, members divided their revenue and had a chance to shop at the Club Store.

Pasta Palace was the most popular choice of the day among customers, providing them the win and more spending money for the Club Store.

As an additional incentive, all participants of the "Our Town” week also received bags full of school supplies.
